How it works
1. We collect the specs
Only figures published by the manufacturer, each linked as a source. If a spec isn't published, we say so.
2. A formula ranks them
Each spec is placed on a fixed scale and weighted by how much it matters. The scales and weights are printed on every page.
3. You buy where you like
Buttons go to major retailers. We may earn a commission, which never changes the order.
