It's all relative and personal. A Wade & Butcher in good shape is also a wonderful thing. Harder to find those in good shape maybe.....

I only have one DD and it's really nice, but is it better than my cmon, puma, friodur, heljestrand, fillarmonica, wusthof or W&B? No.

I thiink everyone has their own favorite, and their own favorits on different days depending on the mood. So a DD is good thing to have, but it's not the best thing to have - only because there is no best thing to have.
