It's not worth it...

>I also do not believe that any writer I know of would trade a favorable review for a break on some gear.>

Two reasons you won't see this happen.

First, the writer's credibility is all he has.

And second, the magazine's credibility is all it has - he would be hung out to dry if found out.

Perhaps you remember back in the late 1980s a writer for TAS who was a professional photographer traded a manufacturer some photo work for equipment. He was fired. The policy was any equipment purchases must be done through the magazine (to prevent abuse).
