Try before you buy! XS-1 over FZ200

I'm not so sure I could make such a statement just by handling it in the store - it's almost like picking a Jeep because it's rugged when you really wanted a sports car. I think actual use and results carry more weight and it's a bit of a troll to recommend the XS-1 based on "feel".  Perhaps if the FZ200 build had let you down in some way you'd have a point, but I suspect it's still working fine, right?
