If you decide to buy from another vendor because of perceived value, just remember
that you will get what you pay for (and maybe not even that!)
Consider the advice of your colleagues including lab techs/managers who made wise
selections/judgements based upon their very own experiences in the lab with a wide variety
of vendor equipment. Obviously, the vendors highlighted above are doing something right
that distinguishes them from the rest of the pack! Buyer BEWARE.
Remember: If you buy sh*t.... then you will have sh*t (in the form of Shimadzu!)
