but just like your post, I don't see any hard numbers backing up the statements, nor showing under what situations they were relevant.

They are a company that has a vested interest in saying their own product is better, so what do you think they will say?

As for market share, first of all, I would bet the majority of potential customers don't even know it is an option, and second, until the price comes down, it will stay that way.

Sales has NEVER been an indicator of if something is better or not.
