Make sure they are actually different! There seem to be quite a few
companies putting together similar combinations of SDI converters
(EMC uses one made by Exsys) and CDC Sabre or similar drives. You
may find that the important difference between drives is in issues
like warranty (negotiable!) and service - local vs. 3'rd party,
repair vs. instant swap, etc...
