Read that same book about a year ago and have reread parts of it several times...I really like reading most of Terry's articles however the California Rigby blessing he was giving I found a bit disturbing..he freely admits they are using Merkel actions to build them and yet seems justified in promoting their exorbitant price tag.. he seems to think the mexican Rigby is o.k and yet does not have very positive things to say regarding the other entry level doubles..with the exception of the Merkel..which, while it is a fine entry level double, seems to play into his promoting the mexican...IMHO...

Opinions...you know what they say about them...
