Kudos for good service at Fastlane. I use a Hobie Outback and they have helped me a lot too, including fishing tips, friendly advice and everything else.
I've been to OEX to check out the other side of the non-Hobie universe. They were very kind to me too. If we need specific Hobie parts, we can't go to OEX. It's as simple as that.
They may both have mutually exclusive product lines, but lots of everything else we do we have in common.
There's room for everyone, I'm sure. No need to turn a nice compliment into a pc vs. apple, nikon vs. canon, them vs. us, etc., pissing match.
Go catch fish
