hello, there might be advantages for using lex camera over pearl but personally i am happy with the performance of pearl camera. secondly, in my view, when thing comes to assistive technology, if i am spending additionallly on such devices, to me, after sales support and brand matters lot. as pearl is manufactured by freedom scientific company having vast experience in this field as compared to vision aid technologies, i can be best assured with its support in case of any assistance. no doubt, Mr. Abhinav from sparsh product is always available for any queries and has good amount of supportive stratigies, but i don't know whom to approach besides him as i found this to be one man show. i may be wrong in my findings. thanks,
