I love the PerfectDraw. I rarely have to use it, but I'm glad I have it when it's needed.

Enjoyed these many many years ago. I remember you could specify if you wanted them out of the DR vs FL. Makes me want to try one again.

@Rob G
@Smok'em1313 How did you two find the format of this review, ie. Easy to read and follow, better than written out, not as good as written out, great, crappy, etc? I've never really done "formal" reviews, and I will be doing 10 at the request if ElkTwin, so trying to feel out how best to convey the information. Thanks Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

I think that’s a great idea. I use the form for capturing characteristics and notes, but write the review.
