No, for me it is much easier to detect and "classify" a 
mounting error in a handviewer. In projection I just know I 
can't fuse an image and it hurts. In a handviewer I can tell 
immediately whether it is a window violation, a vertical 
error, a rotational error, etc.

Correct!

No need to do any math, the window placement has nothing to do 
with your handviewer. You cannot change the window in a 
handviewer like you can on a projector.

You are right, I way overstated that one. Instant 
gratification is one reason. The time you save that can be 
spent with family and friends is another.

I can have almost anyone up and mounting a roll of 28 Realist 
pairs in Spicer mounts in under one hour in no time at all. 
With a few rolls of practice that time can be cut down to 
about 30 minutes a roll.

That could end up taking you about 16 hours or two hours a 
night for a week. Yes, a lot of time in some people's eyes.

I cannot compete with that *{;-)

As I said I was aiming this at the general stereo public. I 
knew you remounted your "better" ones. I know you understand 
the window and how to get the best presentation from an image. 
I hope I have not offended you in any way?

With all that said, I still stand by my opinion that all 
images should be mounted to their best if you are going to be 
showing them to anyone but yourself.
