    If you go to an adviser that is fee based, it will cost you a fee. If you go to a fees free adviser, it will not.

    You wouldn't necessarily get the same recemmendation if you went to 2 fee based advisers, or 2 fee free advisers, as it depends on how they interpret the scenario

    A bit like FPC3
