"As everybody knows, (mt) is a little slow, and a little prone to failure."

I think that's a slightly ignorant pov. You can't judge all of (mt) with your (gs) experience. I've been on a mid-range (dv) for years and it's been nothing but kittens and daisies. Which brings me to this point - why get 2 (gs)'s and not just get a more powerful (dv)?
