Answer
I've seen a few viewpoints on this, but you guys seem to know what you're talking about. For buying a binder, is Underworks a better choice than Les Love Boat? It's cheaper and seems to be more recommended overall, but I'm wary about the price difference.

Zak: Many people have their individual preferences, so there isn’t really an objective better binder or better choice. Neither Adrian nor I have any personal experience with Les Love Boat, and so I can’t speak to the comfort of their binders or anything else. I was very happy with my underworks binder and my t-kingdom binder. I personally thought my binder from underworks bound better but that the one from t-kingdom was more comfortable. When making a decision like this, I think it’s best to go with the recommendations of others. Obviously people vary their preferences with these things, but if in general one company or model of binder is more highly reviewed than any other than that is usually a good way to go.
