RE: Benchmark

From:Laurie Colbert

Steven,
 
We were also very reluctant to get rid of our ES because of its slide capacity.  Ventana worked us a very good deal on two Benchmarks for the ES trade-in.  It's just nice to have everything from deparaffinization to antigen retrieval done on the Benchmarks.  It really is a walk-away system.  We have a total of 4 Benchmarks now and they're very easy to use.

Does anyone have any real-time experience with the Ventana benchmark that they'd like to share? I've been visited several times now by the sales rep who cannot comprehend why I am hesitant to rid myself of my reliable ES system. Am I just being nostalgic or should I stick to my guns and not upgrade? Any feedback that will help me decide either way will be helpful
thank you,
