The best thing for you to do would be to cruise the archives as this has been discussed many times in the past. The problem with soliciting opinions from repair people, I know as that is what I do, is that they often confuse the pleasure of working on a particular product with reliability and, that very subjective term, quality. I will not go into this further as I have done so in the past and I would not want to bore the regulars to tears.
