If you're setting up a system based on a "consensus" of opinion, you are needlessly limiting yourself- perhaps to mediocrity. As an imperfect analogy- I'd offer that White Zin tastes good by a vast majority of the general wine drinking population. But, any experienced wine afficionado will most likely choose a vintage Bordeaux, Cali Cab, or Oregon Pinot from good years. Yeah- White Zin might be a safe choice to please a crowd, but in most cases, isn't the best choice for each individual- if only they knew what he/she was missing.
Use your own ears, eyes, and palate to be 100% certain.
