I agree 100%.  It is my opinion that Fruit is stronger than Toga based on my
experience and my test.  I don't say it is a certainty.  It does point out that
different set-ups may produce different results.  So the best testing method is
to test the program the way you will actually use it.  That way you find out
which is best for you.
