     Someone emailed me saying that many believe the 1080 to be superior.
 My reasons were: a) I was told the 1084 had a sharper immage.  I have never
 seen one up close.  b) It would have been 3 years newer.  c) More
 professional style.

     I haven't had many problems with my 1080.  I *THOUGHT* the 1084 was
 better.

     Interesting ... I didn't know that ... Doesn't the 1804-S have a problem
 of burning up?  A friend of mine had one that died just out of warentee.
