Eileen,

No doubt I would chose the Sakura VIP.  We currently have a Tissue Tek VIP
that is about 14 years old and a Leica TP1050 that is about 4 years old.
The Leica is ok, but the VIP has been much more reliable.  When we have
problems with the VIP it is usually due to human error vs. a mechanical
problem.

I realize that this topic has been visited numerous times, but if given the
opportunity to purchase a new processor and the choices were either the
Sakura VIP or the Leica TP1050, which would you choose and why.  Thanking
you in advance for any feedback, Eileen Lonergan, Ardais Corp, Lexington
