Are you talking about the Focus 40 5th gen? Was considering that one.

I agree that a larger display is better if you're working with the computer. But that 14th cell should be really good for your iPhone. I am not fond of the current crop of braille displays. I hate the keyboard on the focus because it's loud and it doesn't feel good. I like The braille edge does not pair with multiple devices and it came out into thousand 12 so it is getting long in the tooth.

I would highly recommend a larger display. Their are quite a few good options depending on what kinds of features you are needing, but 14 cells won't get you very far when using a computer. Personally, I think a display that size is nice for texting and portability, but for the kind of editing and proofreading it sounds like you do, you will want a 32 or 40 cell display.
