Nothing in common with the 6.5's, other than a he11 of a lot of marketing turning yet another lack-luster cartridge into a pop hit. Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga sell a lot of tickets, neither of them for the sake of actual singing talent...

Hahaha! Just a side note that popped in my head when you started talking about marketing hype.
