Look at the very best first, then get experience in the specific field.
Okay, that's exactly what I was trying to figure out, and I was worried that it might be something like you said. I'll definitely be looking for opportunities to do what you said about seeing the very best. In the meantime, what exactly are you looking at in terms of fit and finish on these?
