All good resources, as long as context and particular interests are considered.
I've often found that lenses that CaNikon owners lavish praise on are missing
some properties of my R lenses that I value. It might be bokeh, flare
resistance, distortion, handling, vignetting or edge-to-edge performance,
there's always something or several somethings missing. Use these reviews as
starting points for your own evaluations, don't consider them the last word.
