Ooh, this is my current meter. I have the papillon, but I think it is indeed exactly the same as the flash.

So overall its a good meter. I like the light feature. When you turn the light on, the screen lights up. Press the button again and a light illuminates the test strip, showing you where to put the blood. When enough blood is sucked up, the light goes back to the screen. Very cool.

Ok, so there is lots of good bits about it, but here is some of the bad
1) It doesnt automatically turn on when you insert a strip.
2) It takes about 7 seconds, which is a bit longer than the xceed
3) The memory is a bit more fiddly to get into than ideal
4) You can only scroll one way through the memory, unlike xceed
5) It is relatively easy to accidently change the code when trying to get into memory

Good things
1) light as described above
2) Strips come in vial - I prefer them this way, you may not
3) Small and good looking
4) Coding is done on meter - you cannot lose the chip (but see bad point 5)

Overall, I like it. I have pretty much every popular Australian meter made in the last 5 years. Its nearest competitor is the Xceed, and I would have to say that I think the Xceed is a little bit better. I really dislike my strips wrapped in foil though, so I stick with my papillon. I also managed to snag a copy of the computer program and a cable so I can download my papillon, which is awesomely cool, and I cant do with my Xceed.

Ricros, I dont understand what you mean about it not distinguishing betwen a high and a low? Could you explain it to me?
