I have a Jupiter and Orion. I purchased them new in 2004(Orion) and
2005(Jupiter) both have been great rigs. The Orion was back to TN in
2007 for an main encoder and last month for the battery change and an
earphone problem. Both were fixed to my satisfaction. Not fast, but
great service. I would buy an Eagle as soon as it comes back out.
