Hi Bob,
I agree with you about the VI+! I'm very happy with mine. I was
pleasantly surprised at how well the NB worked when I tried it. I hadn't
used it because the NB on my old Paragon was pretty worthless but the VI+
is almost as good as the Delta II and Scout I have which are awesome,
especially considering their age. I think I'll be happy with my OMNI VI+
for the foreseeable future.
