Someday, a format like this may appear. If enough of us get the motivation. But it could not be a printed periodical.I think Peter Aczell had the right idea back when he started his publication. Buy everything for review. This would; 1) weed out the stupidly priced gear, 2) reduce conflicts of interest.
I've been a reviewer since 1990 and there is no avoiding dancing around a product's shortcomming. It's all how you word the review...it's an art form to not displease or anger the manufacturer/distributor plus give the reader your true thoughts and insights.
This is an old can of worms with a very worn label :)

I sent him $20 for a subscription somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 years ago and am still waiting for my magazines.
