Hi Timothy, Good point, Grant! Timothy, I'd go with the Apex, even over the BrailleSense. I've used my Apex longer, so maybe I don't know as much as some others about the Sense, but I have checked out my friend's Sense, and I find the Apex easier to use. The main reason for this is that the Sense uses a computer-style layout (combo boxes, windows, etc.) whereas the Apex uses a menu/list layout, which I have found much easier to navigate with. Also, the Apex uses the same underlying principles, if you will, as the mPower. In other words, it has the same layout, most of the same features (for some reason, they took off the remote synthesizer feature, but I never needed that anyway) but the Apex has just enhanced the features you've come to know and love in the mPower. So, I think that if you stayed with the BN line and switched to the Apex, it would be a much less steep learning curve than it would if you went from an mPower to a BrailleSense. Hope this helps!
