Marty Note
I love the IDEA of this tool, but it isn't ready for prime time yet. It is slow, not intuitive and takes the fun away from the idea. If I thought the MET actually cared about what I thought it would make the promise of the tool exciting. The problem is sitting and waiting for each slection gets old fast. Grinding through that massive catalog also gets old fast. Didn't make it for me.
