FWIW, I own a Pontus II, and am very happy with it. The reviews, both online and on forums, are almost 100% positive. The build quality is very high, and customer service generally excellent. Other than network interfacing with some computers, I can’t think of any complaints that I have seen, and those issues were apparently resolved through firmware updates.
In other words, it would probably be difficult to go wrong with a Pontus.
