Subject: Thermo-scientific vs Ventana Benchmark XT

Hello , I now have a Ventana Benchmark XT and our company's money people are pushing for us to replace it with the Thermo Auto-stainer 360  to save costs.  I only have the product information promotion folders to go from. Am I to understand that this is an auto-stainer similar to a H&E automated staining? It claims fast turn around and significant cost reduction but it  has many hands on steps in the process as opposed to a "closed system" like Ventana.  Help! I need to communicate the pros and cons of making a change like this I would appreciate any information and opinions you may have.
Thanks, Cheri
