I have used both the Lavender and the Banks; the Banks wrote on a spool of tape, one line, so for a page of notes you tore your long string in line-length segments and glued them to a page. The Lavender was supposedly a more affordable alternative to the Perkins; the case and the keys were plastic, so it was lightweight. But it made yucky, wimpy Braille.
