tried them all at nab.
I've had the jl cooper eclipse cx since they came out over 4(?) years ago.
the elements are nicer. definitely. rings and balls are smoother, better displays, knobs, buttons.
i would say the davinci panels are really not that much better in feel than the tangents, but of course the mapping is perfect. but you can't use them on anything else.
if your business model supports spending an extra $25k for the davincis, then get them. but i'm selling the eclipse and getting the tangents...
