Or, what would you do if you had to piece together 2 or 3 loaner cars?
I'm really really happy with my serpent SF2W. Cheaper than the Roche or XRay, but not any less capable from what I can see. There is the new SF3 and they are still cheaper than the newer hyped models.
I have read many times though that is best to buy something that you can get local support for. But honestly with online parts so freely and quickly available I've yet to be stuck without something for more than a few days.
