I would like to apologize if I upset anyone. However, like all forums, I am here to achieve information, not upset people or attack people.
When I say the made in garage look, I talk about the fact that there is no curvature or stylism put into the design itself. I can say that the carvella's have very beautiful craftmanship and finishing. However, I am looking for something with a little more design and less bulky and obvious. When I put a budget at 300, as with all my toys, this rule can always be broken for the right product
As far as electronically controlled vs. mechanic, I have always been more of a classic kind of person, so I would lean towards mechanic, but it is not a game changer. If you will I like classics with a modern look. I have a refined taste for luxurious products, and often choose the choice less chosen.
For choices between wood, plastic, metal... I would say, I like titanium, wood, gold accents, not a fan at all of chrome or polished silvers/aluminum/steel.
I would say I prefer small over big.
Thank You to everyone who has helped so far, and I am certain that soon I will find the perfect product!
