So how am I DEAD WRONG - I count 6-7 strains. Of which 2 have potential to be top strains if grown properly. The rest no matter how well it's grown are at best top mid strains. But everyone has different tastes. I do agree with you though that HC-CC has some decent stuff and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, but even they aren't carrying the same number of strain they once did, and neither is any other MMC. Which I think is a good thing! Too many choices make it very difficult for patients to choose. A budtender has to spend a lot of time when many strains are too similar anyway and the end results are very similar. Still say a MMC only needs about 12-15 strains.

I still stand by my original post, but what some might consider Top Fire, for me might be Top Mids - but don't get me wrong I don't think most people even need Top Fire or are able to appreciate it. I know I don't get a chance to enjoy it that often. Like you (going by the strains you posted), I usually enjoy Top Mids.

Think cognacs - I usually enjoy Remy Martin VSOP when I'm out, but have Remy XO at home which I enjoy sparingly several times a month. Couple times of year I splurge and get a snifter of Remy Martin Louie (about $50-90/shot, unless it's my b-day then my favorite bar hooks a brother up). But if I'm hosting a party, I'm buying & providing the lower end Remy VS. My girlfriend - thinks all cognacs are disgusting and would have to get paid to drink the stuff.

If that analogy doesn't make sense then think steakhouses. Some people love The Outback. Me - can't stand their steaks, but will go with friends and enjoy myself anyway. I like Elway's, but even then prefer Elway's downtown over Cherry Creek - why because the steaks downtown are of better quality. Would most people even be able to tell the difference? Doubt it and that's fine.

Or take Thai food - when I first moved here about a decade ago, Tommy Thai had been voted best Thai food for about 6 years running. So of course I had to check it out! Guess what - they suck, no self-respecting Thai person would ever churn out that crap. I'm not saying I have incredible tastebuds, but there are some things I just really know how to appreciate. Now Mexican food & drink is still a new cuisine for me and I'm still learning to appreciate the better Mex food. Right now I can't really tell the difference too much between the various restaurants & their tacos, same goes with tequila. Most tequila taste like crap to me. I've only had one I thought was decent (Asombroso).

As long as you are enjoying whatever you have - that's what's important. Who cares what other people think. If you feel you're going a good deal that's all the better!

But don't tell me I'm dead wrong, and then go on to just confirm what I stated when you explain yourself.
