  1. Your review is thorough and technical, which I really appreciate. However, I have some reservations about the usefulness of measuring factors like jitter. The main issue is that it only reflects the performance of the specific unit you tested, without accounting for variability between different units of the same model. There’s always a risk that your test unit could be an outlier, either particularly good or bad, which might skew the overall conclusions of the review.
