"You have a strict budget to buy something? You should consider the ProXXX3000 that is twice that budget."
"What will solve that problem you're facing as a beginner is to adopt this technique only someone with many years' experience in our hobby can do."
"Because you're a beginner, when you repeat that advice you received from experts in the field, without simultaneously flagging that it has come from an expert, we'll assume it came from you and say it's wrong."
"Trying to steer a conversation towards one topic, when we all like repeating the same tired views on other topics even faintly tangental is a beginner's mistake and doomed to fail."
"Going online to learn about your hobby and buy for it, with all the accompanying ultra-convenient customer service and no faff, is a sorry substitute for being made to feel like a complete fool by the enthusiast in a club or working in a specialist shop not quite local to you, who will give precisely zero ****s about your beginner's purchase."
"I see that the list of criteria you've provided expressly excludes the forum's favourite - the ProXXX3000 - from suitability and yet it's been recommended by several posters in this thread already. Nevertheless, allow me to also recommend the ProXXX3000. I might even express surprise nobody's recommended it already."
"While beginners generally benefit from a more generic, simpler model to start with, can I just take this opportunity to recommend this ultra-niche, utterly esoteric model to bolster my forum credentials?"
"You've asked for a budget option (and even included a figure, which completely negates the point I'm desparate to make so I'll ignore it). "Budget" means different things to different people and my suggestion for a budget option would be this model here that costs 20 times as much and shows everyone how much disposable income I have."
"You get what you pay for, right? By which rationale the ProXXX3000 that was full price yesterday is double the worth of the ProXXX3000 that's half price in the sale that started today."
"Spending a lot of money on this favourite hobby of mine is massively beneficial. But also, the money I've spent doesn't confer any sort of advantage whatsoever - my success is purely down to skill."
"The model you're considering is good, but it won't stand up to long term, pro-level, hard use and abuse like the ProXXX3000 will. I actually have a ProXXX3000 for sale in the members marketplace. Like all my kit, it's immaculate, in its original packaging, has never been outside, and I currently have it wrapped in cotton wool."
"The best thing you can buy is the PROXXX3000. I actually have one in the classified. I'm selling it ahead of a post I'm going to make next week about how much better my new purchase is over the PROXXX3000."

Have I missed any?
(Definitely not aimed at OCUK where, generally, I've had excellent help - thanks)
