Hello everyone,

I am considering buying a Core but..

I have been following forums, the reviews and their dates, writing down serial numbers of bad/good batches, contacting friends who have bought it, researching... Seems to me too many ppl got burned, so I think I'd be a fool if it happened to me after having read so many bad bad reviews.

Can someone knowledgeable PLEASE instruct me on the quality of the most recent Cores, the issues, the software, anything useful to make my decision about buying or not buying?

P.S. I have turned my attention to an X-Lander Mil. Ed. recently, having owned a Vector previously (and was EXTREMELY pleased with its performances). What about this match-up -> Core vs. X-Lander Military?

Help. Thanks!
