That is the prevailing wisdom... And I use the term wisdom, loosely. What's really funny to me is that folks are so willing to ignore results. Once they get an idea in their head that's often the end of the consideration. I'm more the other way, what works.... works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Ironically I'm a shock snob. They are the first thing I generally do to any car I own. I hate cars with less than really tied down behavior. But I'm not a label or price snob like it some are.
