Synthweaving reviews? worth it?

trying to figure out if I want to go synthweaving instead of say, artifice on my consular (or maybe just gathering). Anyway, rumours say that at the max level, drops will be better than crafted items, etc. which makes crafting styles that make mods more valuable than gear.

What do you all think? Has synthweaving been fun and rewarding even if it won't be as much you at max level? etc.?

discuss.... :)

First let me say my sythweaving is still relatively low, I'm at 60 or so. But I've had a lot of fun making items and rengineering. I was able to learn a few blue and epic patterns that I found to be better then any drop or vendor item. So for me it's been worth it and fun!

Hopefully some of the folks with a bit higher level in the craft will chime in.

As of right now it wont be much at high level but that can always change. My synthweaving is at 240. It's been really nice to be able to make myself gear as I go leaving way more time to pick up commendations or make gear for my alts/companions. I have quite a few recipes that are actually modable so they kind of hold the test of time heh. I really have no complaints with the profession at all.
