To be sure, this is both much better than the other TA, but some areas disappoint compared to what one might want. The question is where it falls relative to what one might reasonably expect.

I hate the idea of VB's, at first glance. They have no upside for me, only downside. TDY is possibly even worse. But perhaps they are good for a number of commuters? I think we could possibly try them, but I also think we are going to want to watch the tests very, very closely.
