Performance diff. between spaceball 4 and 5000?

Hi All,

Just received a promotion from 3Dconnexion Europe for a 2for1 offer - buy a spaceball 5000 (or spacemouse) and get a spacetraveller *free*. I currently have the spaceball 4000, but am thinking about this offer as I have a second license of SW and would be happy to have one on both machines. I am just curious if anyone has used both the spaceball 4000 and 5000, and can comment on any performance difference. I understand the 5000 has a higher sample rate, and I am supposing that may lead to a smother rotation effect onscreen. True? Also, anyone try the spacetraveller and find it useful? Or are they just trying to unload a lot of product no one wants / likes? :-)

Thanks for any thoughts about this!

Cheers, Daniel

Thanks for the feedback!

So, does that mean that if you had the chance to get 2 for 1, you would consider it worthwhile? Over here this costs in the neighborhood of 700 USD for the spaceball spacetraveller combo.

WOW! that is depressing! Under 400 USD on ebay in the US. However, only shipped in the USA, and not available on any ebay in Europe. Bummer. I am in no rush to give my money away...

Thanks!
