Doug,
At the end of the day we all shoot with whatever equipment we are 
comfortable with. I understand that. The choice of equipment for you is 
also much more critical than for someone like me, for whom photography 
is just a hobby, and a way to switch off and relax. I understand that, too.
Amen
Cheers
