That is an interesting opinion.
Aerodata as we know it was the old Atlantic and then Pacific Database that was written by Barry Stuart who, during a moment of financial need, sold the database in its entirety to the late Bernie Parsons. By creating a partnership with Air-Britain, which I believe was later regretted on the A-B side, a large number of A-B users were persuaded to subscribe to a very expensive product, which they were then locked into (and presumably still are!)
So if you actually believe that 'you get what you pay for' with Aerodata, better to reach out to the current Pacific Database, which is engineered in a similar fashion, by the original pioneer, and presumably a lot cheaper
