If my particular examples are typical, the -5n isn't as durable as the MX and Super Program. (Never seen the MZ-3 in person, let alone used it.) And I suspect the Super Program isn't as durable as the MX. We had a thread about reliability of different models some time ago; there were excellent reports of the MX. (I remember this because it provoked me to buy my MX.) I don't remember what, if anything, was said about the Super Program in that thread. ERNR
