BPM,

It really depends on what you plan to do. I started out with the BS2IC, for my project, a mobile robot, with very limited devices to control, as a start, this was a good solution. As I started to think about other things my robot would do, meaning more devices, I/O was becomming a critical choice. Speed of the processor would only help in terms of making a huge program execute a little faster, in my case. Since, I plan somewhere down the road, to have the robot start making decissions, then interrupts, basis of tasking and threading, becomes a critical part. For me the solution is leaning more to the SX side.

If you plan on testing or building little circuits, then possibly a BS2IC is all that you really need. In the hands of an expert, I suppose you could really make a BS2IC really shine. Bean has a video card that he sells, now I suppose he could of built the circuit around a BS2IC, but there is a marketing price that has to be considered.

If I have any advice, sit down and really try to define what it is that you really want to do. If it is an educational process, then a BS2IC would probably suffice, if it is other things, make sure you understand the problem before you run off and purchase a solution, unless of course time and money are no objects of concern.

If I had to do it over again, purchase the PDB, BS2P, and a couple of SX28's.
