I have been thinking about going with a Permobile and trying out the Majictek (spelling). From what I have seen on the video it seems to operate like a Peachtree. I tried that chin control and absolutely hated it. However, I have spent 12 1/2 years using a Peachtree, so I don't know if I'll ever be able to get used to a chin control.
