Depending on how old the Mass Micro is - YES.  New ones usually sell for 
$900 +.  Mass Micro lowered their price about a month ago to a retail of
somewhere around $900, so it is still a reasonably good deal.

I have used a lot of Mass Micro's and have only had one that I had to return.
I'm sure that someone out there will cast a dissenting vote on how good Mass
Micro's Datapaks are, but that's life.  I like them and have not had a problem.
