I am not knowledgable on their line to say what's new or diff other than what I really noted was the fact that their user interface was HUGE on any of their "flagship" type models. Like 15" wide x 32" tall prox big! Mori was the same way. I have no clue what on Earth a fella would need such a big thing for? Heck - your pushin' buttons down to your knees!
If your eyes are that bad that you need granny sized buttons and labels - how you gunna tell if your tool is bad or your parts are good?

Ox, you'd be amazed how crappy it is going back to a "normal" control after using a big screen with a full keyboard.
When I first went from this:
to this:
I was in heaven. I knew there was no way I'd ever buy a machine with a little dinky monochrome monitor again.
Then I got a Matrix Nexus control with a full keyboard and a much larger screen. Even though I very rarely need to type anything, when I do, it's nice having the keyboard. The big monitor allows other cool stuff, like displaying two programs at once and easily copy/pasting between them. It also lets you get a ton of info on the screen all at once. Program display, current work offset register, actual machine location, location (in the current work offset), distance to go, buffer, current tool, next tool, all of the load monitors, and all of the current G codes all displayed on the same page.
Then I got a regular "Matrix" control, which is only on the 5+ axis machines. The keyboard is the same, but the monitor is a few inches bigger, and much more clear. As great as the Nexus control is, it still feels like a big step back after being on the giant, crystal clear screen for a few hours. Jumping from the Matrix to the Fusion control, is like taking a step back in time.
