I've been comparing Amersham (USB) Sequenase and Oncor (Appligene)
Fidelity sequencing systems.  The verdict: they are both excellent; the
Sequenase protocol takes about an hour less than Fidelity, but Fidelity
resolves secondary structures more reliably.  Also, Fidelity _requires_ a
glycerol-tolerant gel.  It's optional with Sequenase.  

Hope this helps,
Jeremy

P.S. I have no connections with either Amersham or Oncor.
