Medit i600
The value entry into Medit's ecosystem. On a routine crown prep, reviewers found no major difference against the i700: both finished a quadrant in about 35 seconds. What you give up is frame rate and the wireless option.

Buy it if
A practice that wants Medit's software and resale value at the lowest price the range allows.
Look elsewhere if
High-volume scanning where the extra frame rate and lighter body of the i700 or i900 earn their keep.
