Question on Atik16HR or Artemis

Question for those of you (Jim? Nico? et al) using the Atik 16HR and I believe the Artemis 285 is the same camera (?). I certainly am intrigued by the cost-saving over a Starlight Xpress SXV-H9 which I believe has the same chip. I have read, however, that there is some very long download time for a full size image due to USB 1 versus 2. Are you finding that to be true? Other impressions of the camera (of course, I wish it came with your guys skills, as well!). Just weighing the pros and cons versus SX (currently very happy with an MX716) since there is a $1000 difference.
Thanks for any opinions,
Larry
