After noticing that the L61 is now more expensive than the L71 and the obvious benefits I have been considering making it our new replacement.
New installations appears to be fine as we can run v20.
However my concern is if we replace an older L5X or L6X running anything from v12 - v19, will there be any issues converting a program from a lower version to v20. From my memory I was told that large jumps could cause problems.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Found these which were quite helpful for general info on the upgrade...
