Let me preface my comments by saying that I don't favor one over the other.

The sparkstations which we have recently acquired came with a pad which was a
little different from the ones that we had with the older suns.  It is smaller
and the grid has different colors in it (I think).  They seem to work better
than the older ones with respect to orientation and dust.  I haven't done any
really controlled tests.  This is just an impression.  Does anyone have any
good info on this?
