ABSOLUTELY!!! There is no better way to ask this ancient question of the preferred piece than with the island question. It goes directly to the point and assumes (very important) same circumstances for all people interested in answering it. Additionally assumes that if you are taking one piece (or say 5, 10) to this desert island, you will be listening it for the rest of your life. Let the island be in the south pacific.
