So what your saying is, rather than take up your time, I should just go and do the research myself. And if I can't find the answer easily, rather than spending my time on the back and forth here, and still not receive the answer that I wanted, I could've just used that time wisely, and done the research myself.
Totally makes sense now. When I'm done, I'll let you know which one(s) I like better.
Thanks!!

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
