We are looking at replacing our current automated chemistry instruments and automation.  We have narrowed it down to Siemen's Aptio/Atellica and Beckman Dx700/Dci600 with their new DxA automation.  Any thoughts on either vendor?  Has anyone seen these systems live?  We don't go on site visits for a couple of weeks.

I don't have anything helpful to add but following the conversation as this is the exact decision we are currently trying to make. We are comparing the Beckman Dx  and the Siemens Atellica.
