I really seriously considered just getting an mPower with a brand new
Braille display. But then I started thinking about the cost of a new
mPower, as well as the cost of a new GPS for that new mPower (as
opposed to the free transfer of my old GPS to the new serial number
because I was doing the transplant). I decided that, for myself, I
couldn't justify paying that extra money, to say nothing of having
two units when I really only needed one. BTW, in my experience from
past upgrades, if you're due for an upgrade and your old unit needs
servicing and you don't want to have to send it in twice within just
a few days or weeks, you can talk to Humanware, and they're more than
willing to work with you on this.

This is Joseph. I personally have a BrailleNote Classic BT18 with
KeySoft 6.11. I don't have a mPower. But I can give you some
infoamation about transplant Vs. nwe mPower.
1. The cost. Transplant only costs $1995. The nwe mPower costs over $4000.
2. Reasonable upgrade. You can send your old unit, and receive a
brand new unit with one exception: the braille display. What
HumanWare staff does is that they take out your braille display and
inserts into a new mPower. So you'll have a nwe unit with your old
braille display in place of new braille display.
For more information you can contact Jonathan Mosen of HumanWare.
