Are you comparing apples with apples? Surely the ADIC Scalar 1000 is
(potentially) a much larger library than the L180?

I have worked extensively with L180 and L700 libraries and find them
excellent, and fairly reliable. However I have also used the ADIC Scalar
1000 and it is too a good piece of equipment. If anything I would say that
the STK is much more economical in terms of floorspace - there is a lot of
fresh air in an ADIC Scalar 1000.
