I, too, have been weighing these options, about buying Noah. You can, however, 
fit both the Widex Senso, the largest selling digital and the Philips open 
platform digital, without either the Noah or high pro box, saving yourself 
about $1500. You cannot, however, fit the Oticon or some of the other 
programmables without them. I will probably buy the Noah package eventually, 
but have fit dozens of digitals without it so far.
