There is no rational comparison between a Ten Tec Omni VI and a Jaguar
automobile; except to say the Omni VI is better designed and built than any
Jaguar ever was. Also, if the Omni VI quits working it is worth repairing. -

Hey Bill,
I feel that my Omni VI+ is like an old Jaguar sports car.... It looks
nice, when it runs it is a lot of fun to drive, it has a definite
"PERSONALITY", it gives me something to tinker with, but you better
have a backup in case you need to drive to the parts store for repair
parts.
