Hey, the best commentary on this came from the Seinfeld show. Jerry said something to the effect that--"it's hard to get them to change teams, they get used to their own equipment and can't really be comfortable with new equipment."
Elaine tried, and had temporary success--but lost out in the end (no pun intended).
