This is my point. Of the thousands(?) of stereographers we do know of, 
and the (how many?) more we don;t know of around the world, no one has 
ever done a poll. There is no way to say that the majority prefer 
anything, and have it be fact... You can express an "opinion" about 
what you have  observed, but then it's not fact.

If we keep the forum filled with OPINIONS, newbies can make their 
decisions amongst the "several" choices. There are more than two type 
of stereo photography. (i.e. - Video (and it's variety of flavors), 
print stereo pairs, slide stereo pairs, lenticulars, etc...) They all 
have validity, and no one can say for a fact that any one is more 
widely accepted than another. That's all...
