I currently have one XT and 3 Ultras. I love the Ultras. There is no difference in reagent costs. The only thing that I can say remotely related is that if you keep both platforms, the XT and the ultras have separate CC1, CC2, and LCS. I am fairly certain the contents of the bottle are the same, but the label and part numbers are different. I love the continuous access. I have it set up where the three ultras are 'top loaded' with set antibodies every day. This eliminates bouncing things around all the time. Contact me if you would like anymore info. I would be happy to help. I notice no delay in run times. melissa

We are considering switching from the Benchmark XT to the Ultra but would like to hear from users about this instrument. Is there an increase in reagent cost? Can you really add more slides without adding time to the run?
