[TenTec] New or Used Decision; Omni VII

[Al Gulseth]

What I find interesting (if I'm reading Sherwood's chart correctly) is that 
the Corsair (other than filter ultimate rejection) and Omni V come in very 
close to a statistical dead heat with the Omni VII in almost all categories. 
Considering the age of the technology in the aforementioned rigs, I think 
that says something about what Ten-Tec accomplished in their design.
