I like my Brailliant Bi 40 very much. The only thing I would have prefered on its actual design would have been for the six command keys to be at the top of the display instead of the sides to cut down on having to move my hands back and forth as much. Other then that, it's a pretty solid device. A vendor lent me an Apex to play with for a while and other than the constant issues I had paring with it, I generally didn't like it. Much lesss for the price. I settled for a 40 cell display and got myself a 64 gb iPad for all the note taking aspects instead.

I'm not a mod or anything, just saying. As of late, here in the US, I have found Humanware's tech support to be much less than stellar. The Brailliant BI is a nice display, and the one added perk you get with it is that you don't need to enter an authentication code when first pairing with your iDevice, but I personally don't enjoy the keyboard on this display. This is why others on list are saying it's about personal preference. If you buy one now, in the US at least, a 32 cell model will cost you just over 2 grand if you order online. This is because Humanware is doing a 20% sale on everything ordered online for the next few days. I've worked with people, like myself, who prefer the keys on the perkins style keyboard closer together, and I've worked with people who like them further apart. Another thing to consider is what you want out of the display: Portability? Notetaking functions independent of the device your paired to? Amount of cells? A price range?
