You need to meet more people :)

The R-13 (and brethren) are sometimes fine instruments; however,
you need to widen your horizons a bit. There are other fine
instruments available that are every bit as good if not better
that the R-13 - LeBlanc, Patricola, Selmer, Wurlitzer, Rossi,
Howarth, and more.

The R-13 is a very popular instrument no doubt. However, _I_ may
not want one even if you think I _should_ have one :)
