I think that is mostly a matter of personal preference. The reason it
is faster to download is that you are getting less information. You
get only tiny thumbnail photos (of arguable value) and no
descriptions. If you want that, you have to drill down through each
listing. I would rather have to wait an extra second for the page to
load than to have to click a gazillion times (and manage the resulting
navigation) to get larger photos and details. I'm spoiled by broadband
though. If you're on dialup, I could see where soaring trader would be
faster to look at only the few ads you are interested in. I like
looking at all of them, because I'm still a newbie learning about the
various types.

W&W's graphic design is a little, um, colorful. Just think of it as
adding character.

The advantage of a database backed site like soaring trader is that it
becomes easy to implement search and sort functions, automation of ad
expiration, new ad notifications, and so on.

Regardless of usability issues, it's still not OK to seed your site
with ads from other sources. (and then place a Copyright notice on
them!)

Incidentally, the search function on soaringtrader doesn't appear to
be working (e.g. searching for "ventus" returned no ads). What I'd
really like to be able to search by is price range, make and/or type
of construction.

I couldn't help but notice though, the Soaringtrader website is easier
on the eye, faster to download and perhaps better laid out.
