I had a QTP QTec, and it never worked properly. Just bought a McCord Power Plate, and it works great. Comparing my new McCord Power Plate to the old QTP QTec you can tell that the McCord is a much better designed opener. The DMH is a nice opener and comes with a 4 year warranty IIRC where the McCord has a 1 year warranty, but the DMH is more expensive too. Get either the McCord or DMH.

BYUNSPEED carries the McCord Power Plates ->

The difference is actually more around $60.00. Just have to decide whether $60.00 is worth that extra 3 year warranty or not.

McCord Power Plate - $117.00 (BYUNSPEED)

DMH - $180.00 (Speed, Inc.)

i believe he was stating the difference between the QTP and the DMH. the difference between those two is only $25-30. i think ill give DMH a whirl.

QTP hands down. Better motors, better service. The other companies have never supported this community. Why would you want to give them business.
