Isaac,
<p>Yes, Rob <i>did</i> mention the third choice you refer to, the Verituner.
Check his last paragraph below.

<br>> Objet : Money to spend, RCT/SAT III?
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> Howdy...
<br>>
<br>> I saw a new tax accountant today who was highly recommended
<br>> to me by the dealer I do subcontract work for. Indeed he is
<br>> very aggressive and really rolled up his sleeves. After
<br>> lengthy discussion on business expenses, income, etc., he
<br>> says that I could probably safely purchase up to about 12K
<br>> before the end of the year and get a 100% deduction as a
<br>> business expense. "Wow" I said. This is not to say that it
<br>> is "free money" in the sense that if I spend it the
<br>> government pays for it, rather it's just that in my current
<br>> situation "IF" I can afford to spend a little money right
<br>> now he can take full advantage of it for me as a total tax
<br>> right off.
<br>>
<br>> This afternoon I took my first step in that direction and
<br>> bought a beautiful new notebook computer fully loaded.
<br>> Since I still technically have a substancial amount I could
<br>> spend I thought I might consider the Rayburn program, (I'm
<br>> currently using the SAT II and happy with it but heck there
<br>> maybe an advantage here). I have a couple of questions
<br>> which have already probably been rehashed a million times on
<br>> this list but since it has never applied/interested me up
<br>> until now I've always opted to use my delete key at will.
<br>>
<br>> 1. How much does the program cost these days?
<br>> 2. Of those who have used BOTH, (I'm talking to these folks
<br>> specifically mind you not just anyone with an opinion and
<br>> endless tangents), which did you prefer, the SAT III or the
<br>> Rayburn for EVERYDAY in and out tunings?
<br>>
<br>> I could just as well spend money on an SAT III instead so
<br>> both deserve consideration. I'm not completely sold on the
<br>> Verituner yet so I'm not including that in the equation. I
<br>> could also also very well buy neither at this point because
<br>> I have a lot of very expensive shop equipment I would like
<br>> to purchase too and money is limited. I just wanted to
<br>> hear, (briefly) what folks think and put it on my
<br>> consideration list.
