We are just getting our second Excelsior and love them.  It cuts tech time 
changing bottles and paraffin as well as keeping us on track daily for changes 
and rotations.  We have to VIP, that are very old and one just died.  That is 
the one we are replacing with Thermo.  The VIPs are great units just could not 
go the price and reagent exposure with them. We also have Leica ASP300 love but 
skipped it for the same reasons.

We purchased a processor this past year and went with the VIP6. We demo'd
several but went with the VIP because of its reliability and quality. We own 
two older models, the oldest over 20 years old, that still run well. We also 
liked the Leica model that was slightly less, but I was able to convince 
administration the VIP was worth the difference.
 
Hope this helps.

I am looking to purchase a Processor and embedding center. I have received a 
quote for VIP6 and a TEC5 but they seem  to be a bit out of our price range. 
Does anyone have another Processor/embedding center that they found to be 
reliable?

Thanks
Mike
