This unit is $200 more than the comparable one from Ergo tech. is it worth the difference?

I think it's worth it because of the design of it. You can pay $200 less for something that looks bland on a desk. Also you have easy access to 2 USB port in the middle and I can layout my keyboard and mouse line short and neat.

I'd say no. It takes up way more space than necessary in order to look flashy.

Personally I cannot compare it since I've never seen or owned the one from Ergo tech but what I can do is tell you that I have had 0 problems whatsoever with the XFX stand and it has been absolutely great.

I don't believe the Ergotech triple monitor stand was available when i went to buy it, which is why i went for the XFX one. I also had some question about the stability of the Ergotech and whether it had enough length to hold the monitors given i was using 3 large widescreen monitors. Either way, i've been using the XFX stand for about a year and couldn't be happier. While it was large and definitely pricey, it's very sturdy, holds the monitors very securely and straight, hides the wires well, and even has 2 USB jacks, a mic jack and a headphones jack built right into the stand. If you have the money go with the XFX. Hope this helps. I don't believe the Ergotech triple monitor stand was available when i went to buy it, which is why i went for the XFX one.

I think the stand is great. Very stable, easy to adjust the monitors, extra USB ports....

The unit is very good. Much better than the newest model. I was so impressed with the J8005 after my 20 yr old model that I also purchased the newest vertical model. Hard to clean, stalls out and way too complex - just not good. I believe the J8006 is slightly better than the 8005 that I have and the best they ever made. It is an induction motor and you will have to spend a little over $120 for a transformer or stepdown converter for France 220 volt unless there is a cheaper way.

You mainly get better reliability for your extra 30 dollars. One massive difference is that this product(ST4000VN000) is rated to be on 24/7/365 where as the other is only supposed to be on for 27% of that value. This drive is supposed to be able to stay on much much longer than the normal drive as well. Most importantly, this drive's firmware is a mix between standard desktop drives and enterprise class drives. You get features like TLER (gives your controller several seconds to figure out whats going on before declaring a drive as failed) which are extremely important for a NAS or a RAID. This drive also uses less power (aka, generates less heat) and when it's sitting in a NAS with little airflow, it can help as well. If you are going to build a NAS and you don't want to use enterprise class drives, this is the next best thing. I personally would never stick an ST4000DM000 in a raid/nas.

Not sure but I have tried both and it serves the same functions and I see no difference in both except pricing.

Wow, did I call it junk? I mean, it's not the worlds greatest inverter, and if only used a few minutes at a time for small loads, it would be ok. But going bigger means you are going to run some serious equipment, and most likely expensive stuff too. Xantrex has recently come out with a line of inexpensive sinewave inverters to compete with what china is producing in their sunforce line. These are in the $289-300 price range. Personally I'd take the Xantrex first over the sunforce because it WILL deliver 1000W, while the sunforce shuts down just below 1000W and does not have any surge capacity like the xantrex does. I reviewed 3 inverters, 2 xantrex (the grey one is the one i'm thinking of), a yellow one, and one sunforce inverter (black) - all specified to be 1000W. The GREY xantrex offers the most bang for the buck and is not overrated like the sunforce is. The yellow xantrex has a nice powerdown mode called power save that minimizes the inefficiencies of having an inverter - it turns on every couple seconds, looks for any load, then goes to sleep for 2 seconds. As a result the neon lights on power strips blink because they are below the threshold to put it in run mode, but as soon as you really need power it enters run mode. Just beware that these larger inverters come at a price - idle current - the DC power wasted when no AC power is needed. Yellow (expensive) xantrex has the lowest idle with power save, but you can also just turn off the grey unit when you don't need power. The sunforce has a cute keyfob on/off controller - its range is limited but it does work. It's just not able to do 1000W and nowhere near the surge rating on the inverter. I kept that model anyways for the remote control feature. My personal experience says go with the $289 grey xantrex I reviewed. It's got clean power and just don't run it 24x7 (don't run ANY inverter 24x7 - 1.5 A x 24 = 36 AH, which is almost the daily production of the 60W panels! If you leave the inverter running you won't have any room for running devices.)

Not too sure. I have the EP-560. I have seen a model that was about $2500.00 and it looked too like it was made for a public Gym. I suggest you type in the model you have in question and simply see or read up on the differences. I assume it is mostly cosmetic differences. These all do about the same thing. My TV version (EP560) does it all for me.

I have the performance and love it. The straps are longer (waste & arms) and thinner material so it's good for hot climates. I'd definitely stick with Ergo over any brand and often see moms hauling their 3 year old kids around in it so it's worth the investment.

When I purchased my unit the price for a new unit was almost $50 more than the refurbished. With Amazon when a price gets low go ahead and purchase. As far as the remanufactured unit, I can't see the justification for the extra money in cost.

Sorry, I don't know if there is a difference. Maybe the prices just vary. I would compare and make sure the model #'s are exactly the same, and if not, research the model numbers.

I don't know. I didn't keep the packaging or any paperwork. I would strongly recommend Anker's over Ergo-office. These 2 look identical but Anker's is a lot better.

We ordered the Professional, but received the everyday model. We reordered and the same unit came, so we just returned the unit. Sorry, but I have no answer for you as to compare of the two.

One model is higher easier to get on an off the machine. This is the price difference

My English is not very good. the machine is all plastic and you could not change any of its parts. it is not dependable in the amount of food dispensed, sometimes dispenses more than others. sometimes skips a one time and no. dispenses NOTHING I recommend the ergosys has the metal dispenser and is a exclente machine, I had one for nearly three years, but one day the lights went out, when the light returned voltage damage the clock, and try this new machine I am now in serious trouble and I will touch Ergosistem purchase. The problem is that I live in Colombia. I hope help you

Maybe a few dollars here and there have been saved. The advantage to this unit (or any digital unit for that matter) is that they do a MUCH better job of maintaining a room temperature than the old Mercury units did. It's a night and day difference, really, and has to be more efficient on the pocket book as well!

I own one of those units. But I have not found manufacture warrenties worth much. I would look to the manual that came with the unit. I have the one I use in a rental, and the manul is there as well.

I personally wouldn't pay the extra $200. I actually bought the Optishot for myself for Christmas from Amazon for $199.95. I registered it and got the Optishot 2 software upgrade for free. Please read the comments in this forum. It may help you decide. http://forum.ottawagolf.com/showthread.php?79358-Optishot-2 . I believe this was the best investment for my golf game.

The choices are limited these days. I thought that I paid $250 last year. I does everything it says it will. I liked my older Technics better, but the Technics is having trouble with electronic doors locking up after I had them fixed once. The Teac is worth $200.
