Which model is considered the best for computer control? I am considering a Ten Tec for my next contest station set up. Don't flame me I am simply relaying an experience: I have heard on contest list
Whoever told you that Ten Tec's have a "soft" front end, could not have been referring to the Orions! This chart has all you need to know about comparative performance: http://www.sherweng.com/table.
