The other reason I'd go with a Focus over an Edge is because HIMS support seems to have really declined in quality in the past 18 months or so. I had to get an RMA from them, and only did so after I complained on their mailing list. This was 10 days after the original request and a follow up email and pfone call. It was also the 3rd time I had to send that unit in for repair. I work with many trainers and clients around the country, and several have similar stories to share. Maybe using the ElBraille with NVDA wouldn't be so bad if it had better braille support, but I'd stay away from that right now. Karl B wrote view of it on the NFB blog. The Focus itself is very well built, , well, I pretty much said all I needed to in the article I passed on earlier.

Good luck,
Scott

However, my concern with the Edge is it has not been updated in a kong time, which makes me wonder if it will soon be rrclaced with a new display.
