That looked like a really nice one.

It was a lexmark one.  Any differences between the various industrials?

Lexmark m's are always seen as underwhelming and underrated.

Better than unicomp m's though.

I used to think this as well until I revisited the differences.  It's only some of the precision of the construction that seemed to change, but as far as the feel, they're all about the same (and still excellent).
