We probably do as much Bosch (Radionics) as anyone.  Because of my
company's size, pricing is irrelevant (we pay less than $300 for a
9412G with the can).  The quality and performance of the product is
second to none, but it's hard to program, takes special equipment, and
isn't very user friendly for your customers.  One of the companies we
acquired used Radx almost exclusively for their commercial customers,
and those guys swear bt the stuff.  For a small dealer, I think there
are better programs out there.  Unless things have changed, you have
to make a pretty strong commitment to Bosch, and unless you are in the
middle of nowhere, it's not as exclusive as they might lead you to
believe.
