The "obscure" ATs that I've dealt with work great.  My advice is: buy one
from someone close by.  If you do have a problem (nothing is 100%), you
can at least beat on the door.  I know thats easy for me to say living
in the Bay Area.  But its ever so much nicer to drive to someones store
and get an immediate exchange than to box it up, send it off, wait who
knows how long, call a couple of times, wait some more, finally get
your hardware back.  Note that while my experiences are very positive,
consider the number of gates in one of these machines.  Infant mortality
is a factor, and out of 10 machines, 1 is almost garanteed to fail in a
couple of hours use.  It could be the one you just bought.
