I previously had separate threads for .1 reviews, .2 reviews, etc.

But it became a bit of a pain to update the separate locations. So I've consolidated all the reviews into one thread (out of laziness). Please go to the following thread to find that consolidated list:

997 :: Professional Reviews

And as ever if you spot a professional review that should be added, please share the link in that post, and I'll update the consolidated list accordingly.

Thanks.

Karl.
