Which catalog is best?

CORRECTION --- I wrote:

The 2MASS survey is attempting to detect all objects brighter than
1 mJy in the J, H, and K_s infrared bands,
http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/2mass/overview/about2mass.html;
this survey will hopefully detect many nearby L- and T-type brown dwarves,
http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/2mass/overview/dwarfs.html.
but will represent an exhaustive survey of them.

The last line above should read: "Will _NOT_ represent an exhaustive survey
of them"... :-(
