Thanks for your input. I like the fact that I can customize the controllers functions internally as with the Kflop. I don't like the fact that you can't do that with the CS-LAB but if you use a PLC then most of that will be done in the PLC. But now add the extra cost. With the Vital system you have to purchase the $300 activation per controller to write script for use internally. The thing I like about the PoKeys is the only wire I need to run from the back cabinet to the front operator panel is a long USB. Hopefully Mach4 will be out soon and all the update rates will be fast enough to use more external devices like the PoKeys. For the money the 55 I/O on the PoKeys is awesome.
