𒊓𒅂𒁓𒐗𒐕𒐗 Steve the skeptic This is a very good point. Case in point, I costed a portable cardiac ultrasound machine (+3yr service contract) for a research project twice a few years apart. 1st time: £25k 2nd time: £50k Nicer pictures, but no evidence the new model is any better at diagnosing heart failure
