Hence, I tend to avoid the fantasy genre unless I'm sure what I'm getting.

I don't avoid fantasy because it is silly or because elves don't exist or I don't like magic, I avoid fantasy because too many people are still corpse humping LotR.
I'd suggest Glen Cook's Black Company novels, or China Mieville, if you'd like to read some 'good' fantasy.
