    taoist replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    I have just finished investigating the SJ-22 and ended up getting the Tungsten E instead. Cost wise the Tunsten E was more cost effective than the SJ-22 because it already has the software installed, while the SJ-22 doesn't. Also check out fatwallet....
