Only when it's based on the belief that the performance will be 
signifigantly different. My modem criteria have always been, in 
decreasing order: Price, Warrantee period, and how much hassle they will 
give me in warr replacement (if I know).

Megahertz tipped this a bit by adding "Really cool feature" into the 
list, but their 5 year replacement policy was a big plus. Plus, for 
anyone who somehow still doesn't have a PCMCIA modem, they are way cool 
about replacing the modem. They FedExed me a replacement when I was on 
vacation once I convinced them I had made all the adjustements possible. 
Had it in my hand in less than 14 hours and a full 30 days to mail the 
original one back to them. Didn't have to provide a receipt, whatever. 
(Of course, with the modem model less than a year old, it _had_ to be in 
warr....)
