Why do you want to drop Zenith?  My family has had 6 Heath/Zenith computers
and _never_ had a stitch of trouble with them (except for the power supply
connections on the H89).  We have 2 Z-100s that have been going for 7 or 8
years now.  We have a 151 that is still going, and two 158s.  The documentation
is infinitely superior to anything anybody else gives you with their computers
(as far as I know).  How can you have horror stories if you never have to talk
to the vendor, the product is so well designed?
