I read your article with much interest.  There are areas you didn't
mention i.e. application size, installation and so on.  Also, I was
curious, you didn't reach a "Conclusion".  Are the facts, in this case,
supposed to speak for themselves?  Certainly this is no simple matter
so there can be no real simple conclusion but still I was left
wondering what yours might be.
