Ipac or Hagstrom?
<< < (3/3)
jakejake28:
i-pac does not. it has little holes that you screw the wire into. i don't know how to elaborate, but it is very easy. basically, you insert the wire, and screw down a screw. it is idiot-proof.

I own a KE72-T and it works fine, but if I were to do it all again I'd get an IPAC.  The KE72 is more expensive, and connecting it up is a bit of a pain.
skirge66:
if you get the breakout boards to go with the KE72 they have ribbon cable that plug to the encoder board then you wire to the breakout boards just like the I-PAC stick the wire in the hole and screww down.  deffinately more expensive...much more expensive, if I had a budget to live by I would not have used it myself

I've got the KeyWiz and I think it's awesome. As a newbie on a tight budget it was the easiest, cheapest solution for me. I had only one small issue (my fault, I failed to read the instructions) and Randy was more the happy to help. I have never used the other encoders so I don't know about them, but for me, when I buy another one, I will be getting another KeyWiz.
RacerX:
I have a Hagstrom LP24, and I have had no problems with it.  I had a floppy drive go bad on me and wipe every disk that I put into it, and wouldn't you know, the first disk it happened to (before I started testing it with blank ones) was the disk with the LP24Config program on it.  I e-mailed Hagstrom, and they e-mailed me another copy of the LP24Config program within 20-30 minutes.  I just wanted to say that they have excellent customer service, too.

That being said, I also own an Opti-pac, and I couldn't be more please with it.  And if the I-pac would have been around when I bought my LP24, I would have gone with the I-pac because of price.
