Actually, buy the Ascend Pipeline 75. A base Pipeline 25 goes for around
$600 or so, but once you add up all the options that make it useful, e.g
IP routing and compression, it costs more than a Pipeline 75, which can
be had for $1000 or so. Also, the current P25 variants being so are
cripple in one way or another, unlike the older P25s.
