I have both a braille lite and a millennium 20. I found that the braille Lite is much quieter for taking notes. My Millennium 20 is so noisy that I cannot bring it into a quiet meeting and expect to use it. I've tried writing slowly with the millennium 20, but it is still a loud machine. That is how I would have to make my decision. For me, though, I keep the Millennium 20 at home and use it for all kinds of home lists. There's one person's take on it.
