   Actually, they're all so good it hardly matters. The Golem is said to be
the fastest, and the GVP is indeed nice as well. But at these transfer
rates, even a fat Quantum drive is the speed limiting factor. And noone
could subjectively tell the difference between the 690K/Second of you A2091
and the quoted 800K/second of the Golem.

   Personally, I have the equivalent of the A2091 in my A3000, and it does
it's job so good (760K/second) I have no desire for other controllers.
