Motorolas gave us much better reliability. Sportsters or Couriers? Sportsters just aren't built to handle massive dial-in. We used to have a bunch of them and unless you have them VERY well ventilated, you will have problems. (We had a, uh, unique shelving system to keep them separated for ventilation...) Couriers will handle it much better. That's why they cost more. We ended up getting Total Control racks anyway so we could run x2.
