I sent an email out to a fellow mentor exactly about this.

The cRIO was certain high up on the list, but you were only allowed one.
The classmate (newer version) was high up on the list.
The right angle drill was also very high up on the list.

That's strictly efficiencies though. Or dollars / point if you like. As someone else in this thread already said, you also need to include the difficulty of getting rid of the items for said price if you don't intend to use them. The right angle drill will probably be much easier than the classmate, and will certainly hold it's value better.

Anyone want to create a weighted objective table for this?
