If you have more accurate statistical data comparing the two devices, by all means please post it.
First, inferences from unrepresentative and really small sample does not mean anything.

Second, your impression does not qualify as statistical data. It is you who are claiming that both are equally strong and you are supposed to provide the proof for your claim not me.

I am simply pointing out that your logic (or data) behind your claim is not sustainable. You cannot derive your conclusion that 1000DS is as sturdy as iliad from reported breakage (or the lack of) in two forums. To test properly,
1) you need ratio instead of count
2) you need representative sample
3) both should be test in same usage conditions.
Please refer to post 103 and 104.
