I respectfully disagree with the below statement. While many can conclude
that they prefer one over the other, J. Blake Arrington's post says to
all who have selected Buffet over Leblanc.....you can't hear, play or make
good decisions about your selection. You may state that your experiences
lead YOU to conclude Leblancs are "far more superior" (by the way, you
have too many qualifiers there), but to make a statement of definition as
you have is misleading and ignorant of other, equally experienced and
polite opinions.
