For what it's worth I have had the opposite experience. I had nothing
but trouble with BNU. This is not to say X00 has been completely trouble
free but Ray Gwinn has been nothing short of amazing at times trying to
work out problems. During one period of time he delivered 3 test
versions within 24 hours for me to try. He has been very responsive to
well documented bug reports.

David Nugent is also a fine programmer but calling Australia is a bit
too expensive for my budget in trying to debug problems.
