The real problem with boas is that there are so many choices!
I understand! I just thought it's hard when pretty much everything that comes up to do with Nics seem to be negative, at least that's what my experience was - I'm glad I trusted the store employee who told me otherwise. I'm sure Hogs are great, there must be a reason they're popular!

I totally agree that there's so many options, though. If I'd known about BCLs and other locality boas I would've had a much harder time deciding.
