We have experience w/ DEC DELNI's here at NRC.  They seem reliable.
And as you mention, they are great for turning many snakes into a
single octopus (no Sushi jokes, por favor).  However, the ones we
have are *NOT COMPATIBLE* with some controllers which use a 'heartbeat'
signal (e.g. Excelan 20x).  An alternative
apparatus which is similar which *DOES* work w/ Excelan controllers
is manufactured by TCL.  If you want more information on that device,
send mail and I will dig up contacts, etc.
