Jim:
Sorry, I mis read your initial post and thus answered incorrectly.
Let me re-state my text and my belief as to such.
A 653 with upgrade is a ONMI VI with opt 3 and should be advertised as such.
And a 654 is a OMNI VI+ and should be advertised as such.
There is a difference technically, in appearance, age, and performance.
Sorry for my error.
