One must assume that there is a difference, but is it like the difference between a 1974 Bordeaux red wine, which I couldn't afford, so I go for the 2006? (quality and status combined) I know there is a great difference between a 35 year old wine (that isn't corked) and one that is 3 years old.<br><br>I just can't figure out what is different between these tens units.

I just can't figure out what is different between these tens units. I'm asking for advise here- so please consider going into detail.

You need to do some research before you open your mouth and sound like as ass because you clearly don't know what your talking about. Your unit does not do the same as an Empi unit.

Hardly accurate. I've had one for 6 years and got it for $50 bucks....yes that's 5 and a 0 = $50. $800!!!!! Hardly accurate.

You can buy a unit that does EXACTLY the same thing for around $200 - made by Omron who's products are first class. I have one and yes, they really do help aching muscles. Highly recommended.
