[QUOTE="typo, post: 3273904, member: 83808"] Frank, Very nice report as always and it sounds like you've found another gem. What has confussed me is the possible comparison to the Viking FF. Sure the specification make it look like the two are related but I wonder how closely? Viking's ED Pro is their top of the range and very good. That is the one on a superficial comparison I'd say would give the ZenRay Prime a run for it's money. The FF is quite good but I'd put on the step below. In fact it was a Viking representative at Minsmere who tried to persuade me how amazing the FF was, so I got out the Prime for comparison and we both agreed it wasn't close. Unfortunatey they don't sell the Pro at RSPB outlets though that's the one the Viking guy owned and conceded was probably closest. I'm not trying to contradict anything you say Frank, but I think it's quite possible that the Questa and the FF share the same platform, it sounds like the detailed specification might be entirely different. It certainly doesn't sound the same to me. David PS. The tax inclusive price in Euope of the ZenRay Prime through Lanius Books in Poland is approximately £500 depending on the exchange rate on the day. The Viking ED-FF is £399 and the ED-Pro £599 at their own stores. [/QUOTE]
