I can't help but feel that I am unduly the object of this comment... I'd have to say the Springfield lineup is very impressive and ultimately some of the best values to be found.
So where does one need to be steered straight? A fulton armory M-14 that costs twice as much as a SA and that I can't shoot any better? Or maybe a Glock instead of an XD? Perhaps a Wilson 1911 as opposed to my Operator????
