	I would like to get the group's opinion on the best available
instrument for doing multicolor [ at least 6, in the near future maybe
7, and potentially 8 ] analysis as to
Altra vs Vantage vs Moflo

1] how well does the 8x8 compesation matrix on the Moflow work?

2] if I need to use aftermarket software compensation , is there any
advantage to Mac based data vs. Windows based data?

3] is there a big difference in sensitivity between the jet in air flow
cell [Moflo &BD] and the quartz [BD & Coulter] for reagents such as
Cascade Blue and APC-CY7?

4] which has the best design for multilaser alignment?

5] which has the best disign and optics for signal collection?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,
Tom
