Is there anyone using FMA chargers here?

I have an FMA Cellpro 10XP, and couldn't be happier with it. Reliable, fast charging, accurate balancing, easy programming, many presets. If you max out the power it gets warm, not hot. Foolproof design: if you connect your battery incorrectly, it will let you know instead of going into fireworks mode. I decided to get the FMA Cellpro instead of the iCharger 3010B after reading the many horror story reviews at http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11597, where a number of users, including our own Justin_LE, describe how their iChargers burst into flames.

I have one and have used it only a couple times- I liked it fine- the menu structure is nice and intuitive, the high power capability is cool, particularly the high power regenerative discharge ability. I haven't used the computer interface/software but I have seen charts that others on the board have generated using it. It looks to be capable and powerful software.
