Yep, not surprised
We've all read the 100s of threads which say,
"you're going to have to upgrade this...and if you upgrade that, you're going to need this...and you'd better not do that unless you first do this...etc., etc." Though many such commentators have good intentions, I've concluded that an equal number of them are rather engaging in a measure of less-than-obvious "guilt-transference-syndrome" - wherein and whereby they feel better about themselves when they can convince someone else to spend the same amount of money on upgrades that they have.
