I used a DataFrame XP40 for about 10 months, then it broke.  I sent it back
for repair, via the dealer.  It took about 3 months and several phone calls to
get it back.  It worked fine for about 6 months, then failed again.  I got it
repaired again in about 3 weeks, but bought a CMS SD43 for use and am still
using it after about six months.  The XP40 was clearly faster, but the CMS
is cheaper and makes a less intrusive sound (not quieter, but less bothersome).
