The fact was many of the people on CCC have tested CM6000 before SSDF and shared the good results of CM6000 against the other top programs, only to be dismissed out of hand by some members because the program was a cheap mass market program. This bias was clearly wrong against CM6000, and SSDF is just another nail in the coffen of the anti-CM6000 group. If CM6000 does drop to 3rd I can't see how this helps the anti-CM6000 group who have stated that CM6000 is a weak program and not worth the time to take seriously.
