what sequencer is best to buy?

[Sekiguchi Kazumasa]

Dear sequencer users,
   We are considering buying a new DNA automated sequencer.  I want the sequencer that can read long sequence.  We have ABI 373A sequencer already. So we want another machine.  Is the Pharmacia ALF sequencer best? 
   Recently, we heard LI-COR sequencer can read longer sequence than any other sequencer.  In Japan there are few users of LI-COR sequencer.  So please tell us the information about LI-COR sequencer by post or E-mail.

Many thanks,
