If your ok with that philisophically then fine, but maybe its why people are making a fuss about it.
Yep, i'm perfectly fine with paying my money and NOT taking any chances. This, to me, like buying a known good overclocker (which you can sometimes tell from batch numbers)

@roy_bates: don't buy it if you don't think the price is fair for what you get. simple as that. personally i'm happy for any marketing strategy that gets the per-unit cost as low as possible.
