I've read your comments on quality/price ratios and what you think about 500+ frames and for the most part I agree, however I'd like to hear your thoughts on something like a TF vs Cartier vs Mikita, they're totally different I know, but I like some TF frames although I havent been able to try them on yet so still unsure if they'll work for me but mainly wondering if they're worth retail or better to wait for them on sale?

I also like some cartier and I have a long time friend who swears they're the best frames in the market, my only caveat is that I'd like a pair in a non-shinny metal finish, does cartier even make a frame that's polished or non shinny? and is it really worth the crazy retail price? and are most cartier frames on ebay fake? (I'm assuming they are fake)

And I also like mikita, I've already tried a pair that looks ok on me and I like how the metal frame can bend and such but they're expensive, around 500, and I dont know much about the brand, does a bendable frame really help or will it make the lends pop out or break more easily? is there another brand with bendable metal frames but not as expensive as mikita?

And lastly, I know your in TO and so am I, do you know a place with good TF stock that I could check out, I hate going to josephson and other than some wicked small shop on the path, that has a great selection btw, I cant find much TF in the city other than sunglasses.

Thanks.
