I've been pretty happy with my Panasonic 1520 (not one of the
new upper models).  I did have to bring it into the shop
for head realignment after 1 year of heavy use.
(I kept seeing "drop-out" - a horizontal
line that wouldn't go away).  Anyway, the guys at the shop
were very surprized that any trouble had developed with the
machine.  They told me that they like the Panasonic models the
best and hardly ever see them come in for repairs.
