Not sure why you went defensive on me. Picking out the first line of what I originally posted, does not stay within the context of the discussion. I was specific about what I wanted opinions on, namely honing and balancing. Unfortunately, the replies started heading for left field in short order.
Posters are constantly being advised to be more specific, and then when they are, the replies are all over the place. My comment about reading some of the replies, was because you outright admitted that you didn't, and there was additional information there that would have likely had an effect on your post. Your opinions are always welcome, but being in context helps keep the thread on track. Just saying give me opinions on a 318 build, without context, is like saying give me opinions on weather.
