I have thought about this also and talked with the area DTN person
about the price of TWO DTN acounts coming out of one box.  The
exchange fees for your Second CME fee is only about $10 vs your single
one of $45.00.  Figure out which exhanges you need two feeds from and
you may find that having two DTN accounts is about the same as one
BMI.  I think DTN also gives you a break on your second account.  You
should also figure in the initial cost of TWO high speed serial
ports--something not needed with BMI.  When TS2k works with real time
data I expect to make the change.
