Good summary. I think the BS Plus has a quieter keyboard than the Apex.

Ashley,
  There are still some dedicated PAC mate users out there-I'll admit
it took a lot to make me jump ship and join the Apex band wagon.  And
it used to be GW micro, but Hims bought it from them.
  From what I understand, it has all the features of an apex (although
when I saw it it seemed a bit clunky for my tastes-personal
preference), with more of a windows interface and feel.  Correct me if
I'm wrong, braille sense people.
Best,
Kirt
