We have one of each on our rigs. Our Ferno is a few years old, we like that it has pull out side handles for two people to assist in lifting without worrying about pinching their fingers. The Stryker we just got and like it because it is smoother going up and down, had a handy little carrying spot under the head to throw supplies, and the support under the head slides under the cot instead of dropping for squeezing through small spaces. Handy when you need to have the head full upright to fit in and then need to lower the cot. The Stryker also has auto shut off so the battery doesn't run dead. A problem we've had when we forget on long transfers or after clean up with the Ferno. Also the Stryker takes a regular DeWalt cordless battery so easy to replace when needed. Our Ferno came with a Large Body Surface Board to extend the width of the cot which has come in handy more than once. The Ferno has a flat pad while the Stryker is more formed. As you can see both have plusses and minuses. If Stryker would put side handles on their cot it would almost be perfect though. J
