In reply to Tim,

Actually the SDS Basic2 is less than $10,000. It is the Compact3 that is over $20,000. The difference is mostly that the Compact3 has WIS also installed. THe actual diagnostic software DAS is the same on either. On recent systems the Compact3 has some network diagnostics that the Basic doesn't have sufficient hard drive space to accomplish.

For those not concerned with where things come from, the SDS clones on ebay are now down to about $2000.
