Exactly.  They don't recommend against them!  And yes, they are
analagous to roses.  Quite expensive, not every situation calls for
them, but for situations when you need/want the best at any cost,
it's the thing to reach for.

What do you mean by "most advanced"?  Certainly, M-1 isn't the
newest on the block by any means.  But my understanding is that
even compared to newly-marketed synthetics, M-1 tests favorably.
Someone posted a comparison here, almost a year ago.  Who was
it?  Grant?
