- We ran tests here between the Courier, the Sportster, and the Motorola Power
- 28.8.
-
- The Courier gave us the fastest transfer rates, but they were not enough of a
- improvement to justify it's $500 price tag.
-
- The Sportster and Power 28.8 ran pretty close in performance. We settled on
- the Motorola as it's construction was more rugged than the Sportster (we
- looked inside).
-
- Our clients using the Motorolas have been extremely pleased with them. And,
- they're about half the price of the Couriers.
