I stumbled on the NuPrime Omnia SW-8, which is licensed from Thunder Data, parent company of Silent Angel.
It's a (Silent Angel) Bonn N8 with upgraded power supply and aluminum chassis. The Bonn N8 is listed at USD399, so the NuPrime is priced very competitively at USD449, though I have seen it on other dealer sites for as low as USD429.
A few thoughts:
-- Licensing the Bonn N8 is a nice validation of its price/performance
-- The price of the NuPrime is only USD49 or USD29 more, which is marginal if you are getting a better power supply and aluminum chassis. Curious marketing strategy by Thunder Data!
