The only problem is it's really hard to get the DCX-3400 right now. They seem to be out everywhere from what I can tell. I live in Vancouver and ended up going out to Surrey (long story, don't ask.)
I ended up getting the Pace box (which I have heard less than stellar things about) with the 1TB expander because it was all they had in stock. I got it a week ago and so far, it works just fine. It is more responsive than the old silver Motorola I had and it has way more storage space.
I haven't had any of the myriad of problems other folks have reported yet, but I can tell you that the first time anything crops up, I'll be on the phone to Shaw demanding they get me a DCX-3400.
Also, it helps to keep in mind that people very seldom go on the internet or forums to report "things are great! No complaints here!"
