I have a twelve year old Elnec LabProg+ with one disadavantage: it only works with a LPT port, something my laptop doesn't have. For this reason I got myself such a cheapo with USB and it works fine. So I wonder what justifies these $895? One could say it is like comparing an old Lada and a Rolls Royce but then I rather consider my cheapo to be a iX20, a car I'm very happy with.

ok, does the "cheapo" usb actually program PLS100 chips? If so, what
model is it?

BTW, LPT port isn't a problem for me. I have still a few PCs with real
parallel port, even modern ones (albeit not laptops).
