Now what is the advantage for me as Joe average 5x4 black and white

next to nothing and my camera/lenses will never need replacing apart from
mechanical failure. The enlarger I have is as fine as the day it was made,
the processing system will outlast me and nothing needs updating.


No advantage to the Average Joe. The Average Joe does
not need a $40 thousand camera.

The Average Joe has much more important and sensible
needs for his $40 thousand. Like, say, a Ford Expedition or
a Cadillac Escalade.
