If you read the article in the same issue about HQ, you will see that Toshiba
puts the PRO designation on their top end models which use all four methods
of HQ.  In other words, Toshiba HQ PRO machines are *real* HQ machines....
Whatever that implies.  
HQ means nothing without the explanation of which of four(?) types and methods
are employed.  In other words, with HQ, you may not be getting what you think
you are.  And to further complicate matters, most VHS manufacturers don't
want to tell you or let you know what they are doing.  
Now, when a beta machine claims it is Superbeta, you know exactly what you are
getting.
