There was a significant improvement in the Imaging Time for HBSP; and an even a more remarkable improvement in the Complete Check Image time, compared to my previous cycle of testing results.
In this testing cycle, HBSP outperformed its two competitors. In past testing, HBSP outperformed ETBH, but MR8 was still faster. No longer, on my hardware configuration, based on today's results. While my testing is impartial, I do have a bias to HBSP, so I will add my congratulations to the HBSP team for their rapid advance to become best imaging solution available. Well done!
Have a great day.
