Which IR transceiver to get?

[Jed <jed...@gm...>]

Been away, anyone else got opinions/experiences with these devices?

Well I've been doing some reading but I've gotten to a point where I
can't quite decide which transceiver to get.
I've narrowed it down to these four:

BC4+BCX-1 ---Bitwise Controls http://www.bitwisecontrols.com/products.php
IRTrans Ethernet
http://www.irtrans.de/en/shop/lan.php
CommandIR II
http://www.commandir.com/content/view/32/48/
USB-IR transceiver ---IguanaWorks
http://iguanaworks.net/

Global cache is ruled out as I've seen no mention of development for
Linux on their site.
Also I'm not sure the last one is really a contender because it's very
light on features compared to the others...

Then again, despite having many features the IRTrans device does have
one big knock against it that this one doesn't.
It's built-in transmitter only has one port....

This port can have up to 6 emitters, but you can only output the
*same* code-set simultaneously via those emitters.
A second port can be added, but even then one cannot transmit two
*different* code-sets from the two ports (via emitters) at the same time!

I'd love to hear peoples thoughts/experiences surrounding these devices,
which you'd recommend and why!

Thanks heaps,
Jed
