Dan, live and learn...and don't let the expertise get too deep into your head or you may never recover from it. There are plenty of wonderful Parkers out there that have some things that expert analysis would point to as flaws. Weigh them against what your goals are (and your budget is) and move accordingly. Keep asking questions.
