>Bigger is not always better, and there's little use for mastering something which you just won't need for your job. Let me finish with yet another hardware analogy. When you're building a house, and you need a hammer, which one will you choose: a 12-ounce claw hammer, or a 10 pound double-handed sledge? The answer: it depends on the size of the job you're doing.

Actually, with framing, you would choose a 16 oz. Estwing waffled-face framing hammer, so a little bigger is better. <s> I do agree competely with your point.
