If you have a PDQ/WallStreet, then I wouldn't look any further. If i had to
recommend a model, this is the one I'd recommend for Newton connectivity.
The PB1400 feels throttled in comparison, and mine always crashed on me.
Maybe it's because I had a Sonnet G3 card in it, but I much preferred my
Pismo to my 1400. My 1400 lasted me a couple years, while my Pismo 8 years
as a daily driver. The Wallstreet is almost as good, but for working with a
Newton, it's even better. I kept a mirror behind my Pismo just for using
the IR with my Newton. You are good. IMO
