Deals / Should I give Matrox a 2nd Chance?

[nmarques]

Ok, so I am willing to give Matrox another chance.

I previously owned two RT.X2 editing cards, and unfortunately I got rid of them both due to numerous bugs and went over a year with no fix on some of them.

I do a lot of MXF/P2 editing and the Matrox Editing Mode broke spanning clips. This cost me hundreds of hours in editing time.

I am interested in getting a MXO2 LE ExpressCard. I use Premiere Pro CS5.5 currently and am almost always up to date.

I see that Matrox has $100 off currently, but does Matrox typically have NAB specials? I am hesitant to spend another $1,300 on a product given my history with the last one.

If anyone knows of another deal or if a Matrox employee would like to send me a special offer to remedy some of the frustrations with those RT.X2s, I would appreciate it!
