Salut,

I have been contacted by somebody who will have to buy a High-Speed,
High-Performance three laser sorter in the next 6 months or so, and as I
will have to recommend this person a configuration, I would like to hear
from you what's the best buy(s) these days.

I don't have experience with either Moflo or the HighSpeed Vantage with
Turbosort, therefore I would appreciate if especially MoFlo users could
comment on their experience. I know the theoretical differences between the
Vantage and the Moflo, but I would like to know about the more practical
aspects like:

- Stability on day to day basis
- Ease of daily setup
- Highspeed performance
- Software
- Customer Support (I know BDIS but how is Cytomation doing on this...?).
- Custom configurations

and all other practical comments that you can make on those machines (or
others, but I don't think that the other companies sell high-speed variants
of their machines yet...?)

Thank you very much for your help.

Matthias
