Hi,

I would say CNT-99/91 and SR-620.

Bob has a point about 53230, since the others is older, but on the other 
hand, it is a bit of a gamble. There are many aspects that goes into the 
longlivety of a product, such as access to components, but also strategy 
of companies.

The CNT-90/91 an 53230 both have graphical presentation, which is very 
beneficial. The SR-620 still have better performance even being older 
than everything else.

Cheers,
Magnus
