Thanks for the info, I spoke to Ergo last night after posting my first message and they advised me to send an email to the rep Ive spoken to previously. It looks like I may have to wait a little while though as they are not currently selling the L series.

The docks are not interchangable. The le is a bit thinner and a new dock was needed. Additionally the situation of the ports necesitated a new dock for productivity.

I don't know for sure but I don't think they'll work. The Motion site shows totally different docking stations for the LE and M series so most likely they are not interchangeable.

Thanks for the link James, I was particularly interested to see the LE1600 as I currently own a Motion M1200 and would love to upgrade sometime. The new keyboard arrangement which is reminisent of Motion Hardtop Keyboard looks a much better system and obviously the dual mics and extended battery will be a boon. In fact my M1200 is looking decidely old and I shall have to think seriously about contacting the nice people at Ergo Computers to fix me up with a replacement.

Incidentally do you know if the dock is a new design or would I be able to use my existing Motion dock?
