would you recommend buying the luxx which has 120,000 pulses (pay 3 times more?) or buy the original which only has 1,000 pulses &amp; buy replacements?

I bought the 120,000 pulse cartridge. It gave about 5000 pulses before it died. I exchanged it for another & it gave out after a few thousand pulses. Stick with the 1,000 pulse cartridges replacements.

Cheaper to buy a new one. You probably won't notice the difference anyway. Both will strain you to cock it if you don't make or use a pre-fab cocking device. Then you'll be happy with either. Trust me it is worth the $10 - $20 it will cost you. I made my own in 15 minutes.

Although I have not asked anyone at Orion, my opinion based on observation of the 2 units is by the time you were to buy everything to retrofit (just about everything but the tube), you would be well to just buy the entire new scope. Check with Orion for the facts.

Thanks for the info. I hope to goodness that the lamp life is not 3,000hrs! I've been waiting years to buy a projector that doesn't require rip-off bulb replacements. My own HS201 is on a UPS truck at this very moment, waiting to be delivered to my house...

A thousand times better!!! Started with the Pulse which died in six months. Got another. Died in six months. Kodak no longer fixes the Pulse when it breaks. In fact, after speaking with them, I was told they no longer sell them. Anyway, we've had this Pix Star for maybe two years and have never had an issue with it. It's really more sophisticated than the Pulse was, but we simply use it as a photo frame where we can easily email a picture to it.

Hi Xander :) great choice on the Surge,it's my EDC and I love it,I also purchased it from Proto Sales as you appeared to do.they were excellent with me,the price was the best hands down (51 dollars cheaper than Home Depot etc).I asked them the same question and they werent sure,but yes I did recieve what is listed at the bottom of the page the 830278 updated model,the one in the picture is slightly different,you can watch videos on YouTube to see the differences,the old model was great and this one is even better! I sent and called Amazon and have been asking them to update the picture,hopefully they will and If your experience is like mine you will get the 830278,one way to tell is the old one had a diff. model #,you can try and email proto Sales if you want,but you should be allset,hope it works as well as it did for me and your new surge is very useful and enjoyable!

Still wondering why the D-lux 5 costs more now (more than $1k here at Amazion) than when it first came out ($799)? Or was this just a mistake???

with out a doubt non compared with the type that the unit came with, i had to use the sticky goop you buy after 2 uses. i know the original is more money but not only does it last the best it seems work better, i can feel more current with them, i have the Prospera Electronic Pulse Massager. i use an CD to stick them on while not in use. I can not answer the all day , i never have had to leave on all day.

Don: I have owned 3 Leicas and each purchase was the newer upgrade model to the previous one. If Leica is discontinuing this model, I believe they already have a newer upgrade in production. The good news is that the discontinued V-Lux 40 should decrease in price, and you may be able to purchase one at a great deal. Your other option is to wait until Leica releases the new model. Either way, you can't go wrong in purchasing a Leica. I have never had a problem with any of them. Good luck shopping.

I just placed my order for Futuro Fagor 6 qt. after a long search with other brands. Thanks for all the reviews as they are helpful for consumers. Just don't understand why Amazon lists used items higher price than new items. I definitely don't want a used one and hope not to get any defects.

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question directly, but I felt that I needed to respond anyway. I own the EFX20. It is fine, but here is the MAJOR drawback. It uses two AAA batteries. They are exhausted after very little shooting. I think that the refresh time is very slow at 5-6 seconds. Unless you need a small occasional flash, I would not purchase the EX-X20. The EF-20 uses 2 AA batteries. It has a swivel and tilt head. It is a slightly cheaper build from what I understand. If you want maximum flash and recycle times, I would look at the Fuji 42. The EF X20 is made for the X-1, but I just am disappointed with the lack of power. Hope this helps. DKR I'm sorry, I can't answer your question directly, but I felt that I needed to respond anyway.

We sell lamps against this listing and the truth is - no they are not made to the same specification as the OEM version. Neither are they likely to last as long. The difference is that the OEM version costs $300+ whilst the compatibles cost $50+. It is also true to say that the quality of compatibles varies from supplier to supplier. We source ours from an ISO9001 accredited manufacturer whilst some of our competitors may not. At the end of the day there is a choice between quality and price and each customer will have different criteria. All our lamps do however, come with a 90 day warranty so it is not a complete gamble.

they first one we bought was not too good so be sure you buy the ULTRA one. It is great.

I have been trying to find the 90 lumen model everywhere (the one without the silver ring) and have ordered one from Amazon and one from ebay. Both came with the silver ring and both were 125 lumens. I want the regular one, as pictured, for a more tactical look. That silver ring is gaudy. I can't find it anywhere. Best bet is to buy on bunbroker.com with actual pics of the individual unit being sold.

I had to return mine as well,even though the number matched to the original.My recommendation is that you pay more,but buy the real thing from HP.I am glad I did,it works great ,last for at least 6 hours.Sincerely,E.Schmidt

I've had my Mitsu 73738 for nearly a year now and am still using the original bulb. However, I did purchase a replacement bulb for around $100.00 just to have on hand in case my original one does shoot craps. If the original bulb burns out within the warranty period, I believe Mitsu will replace it, but then you do have the waiting period until the replacement arrives. This way I can just plug in a new one right away. My previous TV was a 2001 Mitsu 46 inch model that I had for around 10 years and never did need a replacement bulb. And the picture on that set is still as good today as it was the first day I plugged it in. I think the key is to make sure you have really great air circulation around the rear of the set and that you have a very good surge protector to isolate your set from power surges.

Greg,You seem like the real resident expert. I've really appreciated your reviews.I'm looking at buying two pair for my grandkids, their father and I to play with. I see I can get the LTTO version on Ebay for about the same as the neer LTX. Can you tell me which you prefer (or which is better)?Thanks,Barry
