And comparing a FFR with Kirkham is like comparing Toyota with BMW.
This is only because of your biased definition of best.

Case in point: I own, coincidently both a BMW and Toyota.
Trust me, the Toyota is better in many categories, don't let reputations con you.
It all depends on ones intended use, then we can discuss the virtues of which is truly "best".

For me, the cobra I chose IS the best... it's the best as per my desires and definition. It's even better than an original, because in my mind it has better components, engine and suspension. But that doesn't make it the best for you or the next guy

So if we are going to be truly unbiased is our assessment - then FFR is the best for the vast majority. Since our op hasn't stated what his intended use is, then I think it's prudent to tell him to start by looking at an FFR, and then go from there. You follow?
