HOWEVER. I'm not saying AG is inferior, just that many AG BREWERS are not doing all of the little things that need to be done.

I'd take exception to that except that I have little experience with other all grain people. The ones I have tasted thought have been very good. Not all to my taste but taste is subjective.
The reason I push it is for the freedom to choose what I put in my brew. I know what the base malt and all the specialty malts are and the relative quantities. I can change the flavor by changing a single specialty malt, sometime even by a small quantity. It also gives me much more opportunity to learn about the grains and what each brings to the beer. Plus, I can brew an all grain batch for quite a bit less money than by using extract.
