David:
I am an assistant in the computer lab where I go (Carroll College) Where we
have both Wyse 50's and various models of TVIs.  We have other terminals, but
my preference always goes to the Wyse's even though they were not the default
'terminal type' under the setup we had programmed for editors and such.  I
found it to have a far nicer keyboard, easy-to-read 14" green screen, etc.
I strongly recommend you go to the Wyse.
