Because Nautel has outstanding Customer Service, for one thing, and an 
excellent product. Although my experience with Harris' Tech Support was good, i
t was 
also some time ago, now... and I have heard from others, that it's not what 
it once was. Not sure what that means, but it gives me a "caution" flag. I'd 
like to be proven wrong, of course! :)

There's nothing wrong with our box, so I have no desire or need to even 
consider replacing it. I was only speaking hypothetically, that were I looking 
for 
a new box right NOW, Nautel would be at the top of the list. That's all. :)

I have no plans of changing it... just voicing an opinion, since the 
gentleman who started the thread said that Nautel was too pricey (but you DO ge
t what 
you pay for!!!) and for whatever reason, Harris was on his "bad news" list.

Personally, as long as it is possible to MAKE it fit the budget, (even if it 
means stretching that budget a bit) it is ALWAYS better to pay a little more 
up front for a superior product (or service) than to find the "cheapest"... and
 
then to have to repair/replace the thing in 1/2 the time the more expensive 
way would have cost. Buying something major "on the cheap" is very often a 
"False Economy" when you look "down the road" a few years. I speak (type) from 
experience.
