<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;There are times when I do not order from Sparkfun because they don&amp;rsquo;t stock the 20x2.   Instead I order from Solarbotics because they do carry it and I don&amp;rsquo;t really care to pay extra for shipping if I don&amp;rsquo;t have to.   So I bundle up an order to hit the $100 minimum for Solarbotics.    Those are orders I would be sending to Sparkfun because I like your overall selection better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to do any serial work, the 20x2 is far better with a 128 character buffer.   the 20x2 also incorporates the owin and owout commands if you want to do something besides measure temperature with 1-wire devices.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It would be awesome if PICAXE would just combine the two into a single device that has all the advantages of both the x2 and the m2.   (And then sparkfun would stock that chip)   ;-)
The 28x2 is that chip but at almost 2 times the price.   The 20x2 is the best bargain in the picaxe line.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;where is the 20X2?  It has more advnced features and program size, and you still have the outdated 28X1s and 40X1s why keep those without the current 20X2?!&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ll take a look at it, but I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t hold your breath. Unfortunately, the 20X2 was simply too slow of a seller for us to keep around, which is why it got retired initially from the catalog.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hi, just wondering if the 20X2 could be taken out of retirement&amp;ndash; the 20M2 is newer but the 20X2 has more program space and a faster internal clock speed, and would be more suitable for some applications. I would buy one.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
