Default Pro -97 Question

Currently using the RS Pro-91` and see that RS has the 97 currently on sale
for 149.00. plus I have a RS $10.00 off coupon burning a hole in my pocket.

I have seen words here regarding rebanding??

Is it worth it at this time to move up to the pro-97.

Wife is somewhat skeptical (she suffers some from tecnophobia) about 91 vs
97.

Any advive welcomed...............

You're talking about $150 delivered to have a scanner that you want.
How long do you have to enjoy it for it to be worth $150 to you? That
time period isn't very long for me. Folks talk about making sure you
can upgrade firmware to account for rebanding, etc., and I understand
that to some degree, but the other side of it is that there's stuff to
listen to NOW. In my view sitting around paralyzed by fear of
obsolescence isn't any way to do things, particularly concerning the
relatively small amount of money you're talking about. If you were
kicking around dropping a grand or something, that would be different.




Wife is somewhat skeptical (she suffers some from tecnophobia) about 91 vs
97.


Any wife who has any sort of informed opinion on the PRO-91 vs. the
PRO-97 is definitely NOT technophobic.
