Be sure and look at the box warranties carefully before you take the plunge. In my case, the one year warranty on the VA is out and the box is dead. Now if I had paid the full price, that would be about 55 bucks a month for the additional power. I look at it like I'm renting the box cause it doesn't last forever. Also, there is no repair on the box if it is out of warranty. So if the PE has a TWO year warranty and the boxes are comparable, the PE is probably the better choice. At least you get two years instead of one before you have to worry about the replacement. With comparable prices, the PE is "half" the cost per month while supplying the same power. If they will repair an out of warranty box at PE then the PE is definitely the way to go cause once the VA is dead and out of warranty, it is worthless.
