While the R8 is an ergonomic dream, from what I've read, this one I just cannot let slip buy. I haven't held an R8. I have held my fair share of sensuous women (well, OK, not *quite* my fair share ;) How anyone can make the comparison between an inanimate object in metal to a living creature, let alone a warm, shapely female body (particularly of someone you hold dear, not just near ;) is beyond me. I don't care how damn fantastic the R8 is. Holding it is going to be NOWHERE NEAR holding another human being. This group looses its perspective on things on occasion.
