I have no interest in criticising a reviewer's system. You do have something you'd call your own system (that you paid for), don't you? Well, I'd just like to know what it is. In your case it'd be interesting to hear about what you chose to keep after downsizing.I'm also not interested in giving anybody a hard time regarding keeping "loaners" or gifts. But listing "long-term loans" and gifts under one big associated equipment list is misleading. Could they afford the loaner/gift -- even with insider discount -- and would they choose something else if they had to spend their own money?
In the real world, whether they have $1,500 or $15,000 to spend, cost/performance ratio is a crucial issue for the majority of your readers. Without distinguishing items *bought* from "loaners" and gifts in associated components lists the reader has no way to know what cost/performance judgements the reviewer has made. How could anyone know if the "loaner" or gift would be a reviewer's first choice if they had to actually pay for it?
