Hi listers,
Thanks to everybody who replied to my question about usage of Omnidex and
Superdex. It seems the thread has tapered off now, so for those interested
I'd like to summarize the results.
I received 17 replies in all. Two of these were from DISC (omnidex) and
one from Bradmark (superdex). What's notable is the friendly competition,
both companies seem quite happy to play in the same field. Both seem alive
and kicking, and still enhancing their products.
As for the users, I got nine votes for Superdex and four for Omnidex.
All users are happy with what they use, there seem to be no complaints
about either product. The general consensus is that Omnidex is the more
technically advanced and versatile. On the downside of this, it's more
difficult to learn and implement, and MUCH more expensive (a factor of 3.5
was mentioned). User tend to choose Superdex for ease-of-use (and the fact
that is was partly a freebie when TPI got introduced).
So, it seems my assumption that Omnidex is more important that Superdex
did prove invalid. Apparently both are valid choices, depending on your
priorities of cost vs. capabilities. It looks as though we'll have to
continue supporting them both.
Best regards,
