With hi-tech gear (like computers, routers etc.) its important to go
with the flow. Cisco has (arguably) 80% of the routers on the Internet.
Now I'm not saying that they have perfect software or perfect hardware,
or that Ciscos are not over-priced, but just try to pry that Cisco
router out of a owners' hands and see how far you get. Offer to trade
them a Bay or a Livingston at a *big* discount and see if you can pry it
out of their hands! You won't.
Likewise I can make the same argument for Livingston PM-3 owners... You
see my point? :)
