It sounds like we have similar philosophies on life, bikes, and how we use our gravel bikes, hah! The Ratio Tech works pretty well - I'm not sure I'd buy it if I didn't already have an Eagle cassette and RD sitting on the bench, but if you do its a great use.
Something you mention though is worth discussing; often overlooked by people reading reviews (or, at least people commenting on them) is that a review is just one person's opinion, colored by all their strengths, weaknesses, and biases and articulated within the constraints of whatever media is uses. Its up to the reader to try and apply that opinion to their riding, wants, and needs.
I've never been to Finale.... some day!
