Looking good.
But the Crystalfontz ones don't look as good as the Matrix Orbital one because of those "crap looking" buttons. And well, it matters.

I also liked the screen of the Matrix better. It looks more diffused, it doesnt show the "cells". But that might just be from the camera angle.

(PS: Here in Europe they're sold at 100$US+ , so there isn't much demand. You can get a LIS (Lost In Space) for less. Or a Digidoc5+. Doesn't pay, imo. Or http://www.usblcd.de/ , for 50 $US, you get a 20x4 blue one with USB connections. )

How's the software for the USB one ? Until recently , there wasn't any really good support for USB versions for what i've seen. Most programs only worked with serial/parallel versions.

And while we're at it :
