Michael I just did a test running both card in the same laptop, when we compared the 200mW Senao cards running agents the Zcomax 180mW (the new one) and 100mW the 200mW Senao ran hotter when there is a active signal like in an active AP. This is when we have seen problems, where the signal dropped. We did A LOT of testing and decided on the cards we did because the performed extremely well in hot conditions.
I am also very interested in the test and what you find!

Pros and cons $150 VS $55 One comparison I can make between the 200mw cards that Jim and Matt are selling vs. the 100mw Zcomax (XI-325H, that I think Tony is selling) is that the Senao cards runs a LOT cooler... The Zcomax is at least twice as hot. (I don't have anything decent to measure the temperature with... I can say that I like that the Zcomax cards come with a Snap-On antenna so you can use them as a client card without any other purchase. If I get time this weekend I plan on doing some (informal) range testing between Lucent Silver, Zcomax 30mw, Zcomax 100mw, and Senao 200mw cards.
