Yeah, I did note that Tek themselves don't seem interested in talking to me... 
even just to answer a couple of questions (the big one related to the firmware 
upgrade mechanism - if the update fails in some way, is the unit bricked 
necessitating an RTB, or does it drop into some form of recovery mode). Natch. 
Suppose it's not really worth their while for ones-and-twos type sales.

I'm probably not going to try for a demonstration unit - based on the video 
demos and specs a 2014B will do what I need it to do. I will probably try and 
negotiate something along the lines of "if it's not what I want, I can return 
it within X days, complete and packaged".

I might give them a ring actually; I was going to call Farnell but from 
experience they don't usually have a tremendous amount of product knowledge... 
Tek just plain won't talk to me (which is understandable), so I guess it's 
back to calling the distributors...

Thanks,
