Completely agree. Well, if you don't know where to spend your 70 USD$ you can try it, but be ready to see EE results with minor Jewish, lol. I am 96% EE on AncestryDNA now, in reality I am 7/8 EE.
For me 23andme got less precise and my results became absurd ironically after I phased with my parent
. On 23andme I am 90% EE, 5% Greek & Balkan, 2% Western Asian and <1% Ashkenazi, the rest is Broadly European, while my parent is 73,5% EE, 25% Greek& Balkan, 1,5% Ashkenazi. I could see the other parent by this phasing option and he's 99% EE, so you can see that results do not add up.
I do not know why these new updates of commercial tests are only getting worse now... My results on Ancestry were perfect before, 87% EE 12% Balkans 1% Cyprus, now what is left from my Bulgarian is nothing, I have 4% The Balkans but Ancestry writes that it is 2% from both parents so it's not even my minor ancestry, likely just noise from my Polish side hahaha.
The good thing is that if you test on Ancestry you'll get a high quality raw data but even with 23andme raw data you can convert it and get 3 times more SNPs, so think about it. Probably you will be dissapointed, but who knows, maybe in the future they will release a new update which will make it better.
