>How about a nice game Elite Premiere v Sparc. I enjoyed the Star Ruby game, show
>us what we are missing with the Sparc.

that would be a massive undertaking
 i would have to lay out both boards side by side
as you well know the Renaissance is a full sized tournament board and the Elite
a bit smaller

would need major "dining room" table time and the wife would have me doing
dishes until next year

>Also is it true that the Sparc has a noisy fan?

yes very true
it has a cooling fan much like the Tasc R40
in fact one of the only ways to distinguish between the R30 and the R40
physically is the R40 has a heating vent in the back of the unit and you can
hear the cooling fan

look at the last photo on the right:

It certainly looks a little
>agricultural compared with the Renaissance board. Is that part of its appeal?


well i cant speak to that
the Sparc was the highest rated module Saitek ever released and the only program
by the Spracklen team for Saitek
