I saw pictures of both in inCider/A+ magazine.  The Quickie was in the
editor's choice, while the Lightning Scanner was in an ad.  Comparing the
two pictures, they looked identical except for the name and that one had a
page guide while the other didn't.

Of course, all mice look alike too.  Well, there are some different ones,
but the basic design is still the same.
