00If your other choice "second best" then the only thing that could be better is "the best."02br

00If you had said "Why should you settle for something of such poor quality when you deserve something better," that would be okay, because there is room for thing that are "better" than "poor" without being "the best."0-

00 What's that comparative "deserve something better than 2nd best?" 02br

00 Would that mean that you deserve something 01b00intermediate02b00 between01b00 the best02b00 and this not clearly defined 01b002nd best02b00? 02br
