Mark sums it up very well, and there is a whole heap of good comments in this thread.

My work place uses Trimble gear.
Mostly I work with S6, TSC3 and R10.
The S6 is a great instrument - a real workhorse, rugged and reliable.
It earns money.
And that's an important point.
Day in, day out, rain and shine - its out there earning.
One day a year at the dealer for calibration is the only downtime.
There are a lot of other good things about the instrument - the MT1000 prism, the video.
And very few downsides - mostly the direct reflectorless.
That Access thinks and works like a kiwi surveyor is a plus for me
The S6, plus Access, plus the GPS heads are a really efficient way to go. Part of that efficiency is how well it integrates in the field.
NOT cheap, but they earn their cost over and over again.

Good to know.?ÿ To add to the list: GPS 2 point offsets done w/ Carlson SurvPC 6.09 and a BRX7 are not correctly calculated in the Import dialog.

?ÿThe new S5 showed up today. I'm hoping to get to try it out on a weekend once we finally move to our new house and I can put in overtime on the weekend again.?ÿ
