The apparent price difference between the Jasmine DD20 and the Warp Nine
Photon 20 is largely an illusion.  The Jasmine comes with a cable and a one
year warranty.  Both of these are extra cost items for the Photon 20 and,
when you add the extra costs, you will find that there is no significant
difference in price between the machines.  If you're satisfied with a 90 day
warranty, then you will save a little money buying the Photon 20.

The Photon 20 is a mid-range performer (on disk timer tests).  I've used
Photon 20s for a couple of years and am satisfied with them.  Warp Nine has
been a reasonable company to deal with in my experience.
