Hi Guys. I think it makes a difference what you need your braille display for. In my case, I can't use an 18 cell display because I'm doing braille proofreading. Also, although I used to have a 20 cell VersaBraille, I wouldn't want an 18 cell display if I were doing a lot of reading with the display, say in Web Braille.
You know, there is a big long list of Braille displays supported by VoiceOver, some I never heard of before. I was big time impressed when I read the list. I wonder if any other screen reader supports that many different types of displays.
