I haven't read the whole review, really no need to ..

Gee Charles, got all the details then, did you ..?

You may also have missed where I described my involvement with Lee Valley ... wait, that was at the beginning, so you may not have got that far Anyway, next time you visit my website (!), be sure to read this: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ToolReviews/Statement.html

More seriously (not that you care, but others may), any comparisons between LN and LV are born from requests I receive for this type of comparative testing as they are the two preeminent companies. The fact that LV came out a little better here does not fill me with glee. Far from it. It actually leaves me saddened, because there is a part of me that does not want one to be second. I publish the results because they are what they are, because I treated the assessment as scientifically and as objectively as possible. If there are criticisms, let it first be with my research design.

Regards from Perth
