[Electronics-talk] Miniguide

[Snow White Dove]

 I don't want to seem snarky either,
But what are these emails list for if you can't ask questions and get answers.
If I had a question and I wanted to look at Google I wouldn't be on the mailing list now what I.

I know that in addition to the regular Miniguide, there is also a Miniguide US version made by APH, and the US version costs almost $200 more, so I am trying to figure out if the US version is worth the additional cost?  From what I understand, they both do the same thing, the US version just gives quicker access to some of the functions by adding a second button. But the regular Miniguide sounds completely usable to me. I am wondering if people find the US version worthwhile over the regular version, and if there is some other benefit to the US version that I may be overlooking?
