Chris, I picked up a regular Fargo with the photorealistic upgrade about half a year ago. My experience with it was very good. When they announced the Pro, I sold my regular Fargo and ordered one. I don't if it's the one I got, or what exactly, but to be truthful, what I got out of it wasn't any better than the results I was getting out of my original Fargo. And rendering to 300 dpi is a lot slower than 205 dpi. I sent them a print of the same image printed on the first unit, and the same image printed on the second unit, each rendered to the appropriate resolution and treated the same in Photstyler. They agreed there was no difference, and seemed a little confused. They're supposed to send me a new Pro next week, but if it looks the same as the last one, I think I'm going to ask for one of the originals and take a credit. I can recommend Fargo as a company so far, and I can recommend the regular Fargo with dye sub. I just can't make a judgement as far as the Pro as of yet. I'll let you know what happens if you're interested. Roger D.
