I almost got the Hyperion 1210i (and would have gotten the update when it came out), but I got an Astroflight 109 for almost half the cost of the 1210i.

There are other chargers out there that can also charge A123 cells. The TME Xtrema is one of them. It's more expensive than the 1210i, though.

I've read about the Xtrema and it looks like a very nice charger but it doesn't apppear to charge NiMH/NiCD cells and I already have a wattmeter and a Hyperion balancer which is why I'm leaning towards the 1210i. I seem to recall reading about sporadic problems with the Astroflight 109 incorrectly detecting cell counts for Lipo batteries, was that problem resolved?
