I hate rumours!(wishing most would be announcements by manufacturers than simply rumours!
And Roger is great value .. more so than awesome(I reckon), he puts a lighthearted spin on most things mundane about gear.

His access to multiple samples of a particular piece(where possible) also has strong relevance to the topic he writes about too.
