If you like 'em that much, you should probably get both of them.

Isn't that one of the Rivendell maxims:  If you like something, buy a
lifetime's supply.  Because soon enough they'll stop making them.

I think it's one of those universal truths espoused around the time Brooks
was at risk of going out of business (Y2K?).  You can apply it to everything
from striped wool socks to TA Zephyr cranksets (and Bell Metro helmets!).
