Tazzer,
How is it that you have been so mistreated by Customer Service. I have had numerous occasions to experience Axiom service and have found the company to be among the best companies I have ever dealt with. If you review previous threads, you will find an overwhelming number of further references to Axiom's service reputation. May I suggest you call back and speak with someone else and see if your questions are answered to your satisfaction.
If the only reason you are advising EricC99 to buy the Aperions is because of your service experience then I would like to say that my experience with Axiom has been fabulous and he should therefore purchase the Axioms.
What he should really do is buy them both, compare,and keep the one he thinks sounds best.
