Of course, it would have be subjective. But if a large percentage of users prefer one port to a similar one, then we can make inferences. Also, maybe a comments section can be implemented to allow users to elabora= te. I feel this would allow new users to more easily compare similar ports without the hassle of trying out many ports. -- Ashok Shrestha
