I can't really answer your question because I have no experience with the Paradigm. I do have the 150, though.

There is at least one forum member who preferred a Paradigm center to the 150 (GeneticDrift). Hopefully he'll chime in here and explain why.

But, should the 150 prove lacking, you can return it within 30 days for any reason. Though I would understand a reluctance to do so, based on the PITA factor, it's not difficult, and wouldn't cost much. Axiom has a return center in Buffalo, NY. So, it's not like you'd have to return it to Canada.
