Just curious -- why would you be glad you didn't try Sidewinder? Maybe I'm misreading this lol

I know my excellent experience with Sidewinder ever since Bones Brew fuel closed is just anecdotal, but I've never had the impression that Sidewinder had accumulated a bad reputation* where one who had recently considering buying/trying it might be glad that they ultimately didn't.

'Bout the only non-positive remarks against Sidewinder that I'm aware of is the aforementioned lack of top-dog pro drivers sponsored by them/Morgan Fuels, which doesn't functionally mean anything to the consumer.

* Compared to, say, VP Tessman blend,
which has a bit of an established record for bearing corrosion (or at least a faser-than-normal rate of corrosion) and/or shortened piston/sleeve life.
Not speaking from experience here as I've never used that VP blend, but just going off of collective observations.
