Thanks for the REA info. In re-reading, I noticed that I didn't ask the real question: Any ideas on the display issue? Is this something that might make the REA a moot point? BTW, when I had the machine hooked up to the external monitor, both screens lit up but it was just a pattern. Are the screens interchangeable on these? I know they are on my 1400 straight across, but the old 520 required a different cable to upgrade to 520c.
