We have a 3494 with a dual gripper. Based upon experience, I'd
recommend not getting a dual gripper unless you have a high
frequency of tape transitions. I'd expect that few shops have
that kind of usage, and would find the tape cells otherwise lost
to dual gripper equipage to be far more valuable.
For perspective: I just got stats from the 3494 Service menu,
View Usage... Gripper 1: 119711 Gripper 2: 4834
