Grrr APR CR-6 VS Jeppesen CR-3

Hi all,
New user, first post, but a semi-frequent reader.

About to start my EASA ATPL(H) in a few weeks and in need of a flight computer. I'm leaning toward a CR computer in the 6" size. There are two brands I know of offering this, APR and Jeppesen as mentioned in the title.

Now I wonder, are there anyone here having hands-on experience of BOTH and are willing to share their view of pros and cons of both, not just "read the specifications"-knowledge which I already have myself?

I know they are more or less identical when it comes to features (APR has a few extra, or?) with basically the same price, but how about:
Readability?
Usability?
Durability?
Accuracy? (the "APR Microset"?)
Built-quality?
And also quality of the provided manual? (the Jeppesen is often referred to as "crap", I've heard)
Any thing else that might differ?
