Re: Few vs "the one"
There is no 'the one' only 'what seems ideal right now'. Given the subjectivity of sound and how our preferences develop over time a major investment in 'the one' may be misplaced and regretted unless you have a very fixed idea of sound/ playability that you objectively measure and will not change. I have been through various 'the ones', enough to be clear there is no such thing and to be glad I did not take out a large loan to get there. However it can be fun trying. That is, perhaps, the beauty of an unattainable ideal.
