Ramsey vs. Radio Shack learning labs

[John Smith]

I'm looking at purchasing a "learning lab" and it looks like the two main
competitors are the Radio Shack Electronics Learning Lab and the Ramsey
PL300.

Does anyone have an opinion as to which one is better?

Many thanks!

A Pleasure!

Kidding aside, I haven't worked with either, but I'd think that

if they're about the same price range, and proclaim about the
same number and kinds of features, there's probably not enough
difference to matter. I'd just see if I could take a look at
both of them and see if one tends more to an aspect that seems
more appealing to you. In other words, get your hands on them,
so you can _feel_ them(tm ;-)), and then buy the heavier one. ;-)

I could give a more scientific kind of slant here if they have
webpages and you'd be kind enough to post links.

Thanks,
Rich
