Well it seems I made my decision a day early. Yesterday I decided to go w/ the OFA 8910, so I drove out of town to the nearest Best Buy and pd $36 for one. Buying online w/ shipping was going to cost more and I figured this way if I needed to I could return it. Now it seems I could have gotten one from x10 and saved $24. Oh well, story of my life. At least I didn't order what I thought was the older Producer model. I think I'll be happy w/ the 8910 and by having it now I'll have a chance to play w/ it while I recuperate from minor surgery on Fri., otherwise I'd order from x10 and return the other to BB.
Thanks for all the help and I'm sure I'll have other questions as I get into the 8910.
