Hi, I want to vote in favour of the braille connect 12. I have a 32 cell and I love it. It's aluminum constructed and very sturdy. It is all black an silver with buttons that don't look as if they belong on a fisher-price toy. It has very comfortable braille although this is very preferecial, and what feels nice to me may not feel nice to you.
The braille connect is a bit older now though, and that means several drawbacks. It's not priced competitively. It comes with only one year warrantee unless that changed when the brilliant BI was released, but I'd look into it if I were you. It has the old familiar baum connection ambiguity where you have to start your braille device before your IOS device… Or else. I love my BC, and it's working great for me. So, I really can't justify the expense, but I'd love to upgrade to a brilliant BI 32 if I had money to burn.
