I would have to echo this. Even if you don't see a demo, often if you 
contact the company they will find a way to send you a demo. When 
they finally get their x800 printer version released, you might want 
to check with http://www.digifab.com for the Evolution RIP, I'm very 
happy with it's performance (if not the user manual or lack there of) 
on my 9500.

One thing that you will need to consider.... Most RIPs will want CMYK 
profiles. I'm pretty sure that your Pulse system won't have this 
option unless you knew you needed it at the time of purchase. But 
hope is not lost! Since you have a spectro, you might find a place to 
make you CMYK profiles much cheaper than others by having you measure 
the charts! This might allow you to get features that the Pulse 
upgrade may not offer.
