I would strongly disagree. The schindler 3300,in my opinion, are terrible. Also the hand held tool, which is like $65, is a perk. You can have one plugged into the drive and one in the controller to see different things at the same time. Also the tool has a 3-4' cord so you can pull up a chair while you're working and have prints or manuals out and not have to stand in front of the controller.
