I'm a little annoyed by their stance though. I just want them to make a recommendation that I can use instead of trying to fill my head with marketing nonsense. They certainly will not refund my money if I make the wrong decision. Even with the 2800 series, they made the recommendation but buried it on the Q&A page. Those numbers weren't even worse case, those were the recommended uses. Thanks for the docs though.
