The problem with good marketing with no substance, is that you leave the customer slightly anxious about their decision. Did I really need to upgrade to Vista? Does that herbal supplement really make me a better lover? Will my Eclipse 500 really replace my TMB 700?
Eclipse Aviation has its share of pumpers and detractors.

My take? Smart money usually follows the smart people.
