turn away a CR-11, I wouldn't require one either.
You can't go wrong with Brian Knittel's USB interface for the
Documation:

Fairly simply build, works well.
I do not know the difference between a Documation 200
and a Documation
600. Why would one want one over the other?
Speed (285 cards/minute vs. 600 cards/minute). I'd also prefer the
newer models (600 or 1000).
