    Default I finally purchased 23andMe:

    Was it worth it? Got it for 20% off.

    Depends on what you consider to be worth it. It's definitely accurate but a lot of Portuguese have been scoring 100% Iberian or close in the update that happened in October. Did you get the health package too?

    I just purchased the whole test but I purchased it with health + ancestry. I've done FTDNA, AncestryDNA, and 24Genetics so far.

    Imo It's worth it anything specific you're hoping to learn from 23andme?
    =(^.^)=

    Also I don't do classifications currently, sorry.

    Congratulations!

    I think is worth it, since you can evaluate your ancestry from a different approach other than that on other tests you already made, and you can have a more complete picture of your background.

    I did both Ancestry DNA and 23andme.

    Nothing particularly, the health segment will be interesting. I probably won't be surprised by the results b/c my dad and mom, and siblings already did the test so I think it is my time to as well so I can compare.

    True! Also the raw DNA for 23andMe is the best I've heard.

    I don't think the gedmatch results differ much from those from Ancestry. But since you say that, from now on, on different threads about genetic results, I will post my gedmatch results with my 23andme raw data (I most frequently have used the results with my Ancestry raw data )
