I see. I had hard time choosing between Judge and Said, and people said it's like choosing BMW or Benz. Either way, you will get what you need and be happy but it is just a matter of choice, some said.

Can you elaborate a little bit on what helped you decide on Said vs Judge?
Was Warwick ever in consideration for you? I know it does not have an equal brand value.
