Which one do you recommend?

both are good if the tests themselfs are in question, but...

Avia has widescrenn geometry
a much better ergonomy to navigate thru...
lessons for everything a beginner is looking for...

(and now I'm used to it, even if I own both...)

Avia has more tests

Avia has more audio tests and comes with RGB filters whereas VE only has the blue.

However, VE is coming out with a new version early in the new year, so you might want to wait to see how that is.

VE does the job, but navigating through the menus is a nightmare. I just have that because it was a free promitional from Toshiba. If I were to chose b/w the current versions now, I would pick Avia based upon others' description. I'm sure the new version of VE will be an improvement, though.

To people who have Avia, do they do something similiar to "If you've calibrated your system correctly, you should hear my voice walk around the room..." thing? I kind of liked that little demo.
