Which Tri mag?

There seems to be an abundance of Tri mags, 220, Triathletes World, Triathlon Plus and Now Triathlete Europe.
Which one provides the better content for general training and gear advice, as I'm tempted to subscribe to one.

I also enjoy Inside Triathlon. Great articles and also great photo!
(Which just happens to be another hobby of mine )
220 was better. (I have a letter in it so it must be best) Not letter of the week though (dam and blast)
Have been through a couple of editions of Tri Plus which was refreshing, but found it a bit random in terms of content / running order.
I'll stick with 220 for now, but for how long I don't know.
They also sit on the fence in product reviews. Whilst I may not agree with 220 or Plus, at least they have something of an opinion.
Anyone else entered the comp online for £6000 worth of gear? Just me right? I gotta win...
220 i pick bits and bobs through it as the elite stuff doesnt particularly interest me, nor do 3,000 pound bikes and overpriced tri bling. I do like it when they do reports from average joes like us, makes me feel included.
Havent seen the others as i live in cornwall and havent found a shop in the county yet that sells Triathlete ANYTHING! This figures as i've yet to meet another triathlete in this county! anyone put me right?
ooh tri is on TV on the BBC news now....
I have bought two copies of Triathlon Plus, and think it is quite good.
I tend to buy Cycling Plus each month. Very good for kit reviews (as is Tri+).
I've not bought runners world (not running!) but think it is good, and backed up by a good web site.
I buy cycling weekly fairly regularly - it is a bit too pricey to get every week though (money is better spent on swimming or whatever) - but it is quite a good read, with almost as much useful content.
I've flicked through Athletics weekly - usually when there are some results I am particularly interested in - but it just doesn't have the appeal of a cycling magazine - which tend to have more appeal than running ones. Same with Tri World: too anaemic to purchase.
I occasionally buy Mens Fitness - when it isn't too homoerotic and there are some endurance sports featured in it.
I get the BTF rag which isn't too bad.
Most of my magazine purchases are on the spur of the moment when I am traveling (train/plane).
Never seen a swimming magazine yet!
