  1. I am not really sure but when I look at the options on say the 5610 and the 7100 it looks if they can do they do the exact same things. However I did read the 6100p can not do a balance test. But the 5410 can. So I have to ask are they same product with the different numbers on them? Or is there something significantly different about them?
