Accomodation pricing...

>That's a bummer.>

Life is full of disappointments.

>What it says is that without this "subsidy," the reviewers would not find reviewing "worth their time.">

Since this 'perk' is available to anyone and everyone in the industry, you could also say that about the people who work in retail or work for manufacturers.

>That would be as bad for the industry as anything I can think of...it would lead to a situation where the gear chosen for review could based on personal desire (avarice) rather than chosing amongst representative samples of the marketplace's products.>

A reveiwer can purchase ANY equipment he wants at this pricing form any and every manufacturer. It has nothing to do with what he reviews.

>Now, if a reviewer said, "This product is so good, I paid what you'd have to pay for it," that would mean more!>

It's really no different than him saying I could buy anything at dealer cost, but I chose this.
