I would trust LXi over a company that is barely know. "Cipher"??? Is that really their name? hmmmmm....never heard of it.
A little history, LXi was created by Flexi....which, know it or not, has been one of the best sign software builders for a very long time. For me, as a Mac user, Flexi was the only one who came in and helped me do signs on a computer nearly twenty years ago. I like Windows too guys, so....no flamers .....please!
It's like Fords vs. Chevys with me. I'll use either as long as the don't CRASH ME too much.....lol.
Flexi, Amiable, Scanvec, Signwarehouse has always treated me right. I have not had problems with any of these names in question.
