Conclusion
Time to wrap things up.
As for the review itself: Originally I was planning to make this review on one page. However once I added more content it became obvious that there were far too many charts and pictures to to keep things tidy. With multi-page review you are able to skip the boring parts and jump right into the topics that are important to you.
