I am an informed consumer. Or at least I try to be. Before I go out and buy anything or download anything I want to make sure the service I'm using is top notch, especially if there's a similiar service on the market.

I do my research and find sites that do side-by-side comparisions such as this one. After finishing the extensive reading that promised results (I'm sure a marketing scheme to get me to their site) they *always* conclude with:

"There's no clear winner. "

It sucks.
