I was on the website and quite a few people seemed to complain that not all parts are true so I was looking for someones personal oppinion from experience (my budget is 700-900 euro btw)

I've used those lists over the years and they are true so far. HOWEVER it's a big world so Tunasia may not have access to them all. So that's a valid complaint.
