From my subjective evaluation, I feel that the performance is roughly comparable to the escort. I also find that I use the passport more often, due to its smaller size. If you are unhappy about your decision, I know several people who would gladly trade their escort for your passport. Lee Pearson {ihnp4, pur-ee, mb2c}!umich!lp
