Experiences with HERMLE Microcentrifuges?

[Johannes Winkler]

We are planning to buy a new microcentrifuge: capacity at least 24 1.5ml tubes, 
speed 13000rpm, non-cooled.
Amonf other brands like Eppendorf, we have come across centrifuges made by 
HERMLE Labortechnik. Does anybody have experiences with their centrifuges 
(reliability, performance ...)? Their price seems to be somewhat lower than 
other brands.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
