When I was first searching I saw many, many used Gammills and APQS on the market for resale. I never came across an Innova. Those of us who have them do not give them up and if we upgrade, we upgrade to another Innova. Just my .02
My friend had a Innova. She had nothing but problems but I think that was because she could not find any classes or training for it without leaving the state. Every brand has disgruntled customers and die hard fans. I'd go with the top of the line with nearby service and training.
