I decided to necro bump this thread rather than create a new one. I finally purchased the Shinybow SB-5525 6x2 SCART Matrix switch so I wanted to provide an update. I decided on the Shinybow since I acquired a second PVM. Since the SB-5525 has two outputs, I can output any of the six consoles to either of the two PVMs.
I purchased the SB-5525 from
http://www.ani-av.com/shop/product_info ... cts_id=199. I decided to go with ANI-AV rather than having Shinybow USA import one since ANI-AV has them in stock. I also figured returns would be easier if I had an issue since they are located in Texas. Purchasing was easy and shipping was quick. I purchased it on a Friday morning and I received the package the following Tuesday afternoon. They also take Paypal which made it a little easier for me to pay rather than dumping Paypal funds into checking in order to pay my credit card bill.
Now on to the unboxing!

The switch:

Other components: Power brick, standard PC type power cord, 6ft male to male SCART cable, and IR remote with batteries.

As for its operation, I have had no issues.
There is no noticeable loss in picture or sound quality. Currently my setup looks like this: Game Consoles --> SB-5525 --> Sync Strike --> Sony PVM-2950Q. When I get some more room, I am going to hook up the second PVM.
So far I am very pleased with it. My only complaint is the price tag. With shipping, it is just shy of $200. I'd recommend it anyone looking for a RGB SCART switch.
I was leaning towards the Shinybow since it would be cheaper and require less cords but I found one user via Google that had problems with getting stereo audio out of theirs. I am wondering if this was just an isolated incident or if it is prone to have this issue. I also could not find the Shmups forum post that this user was referring to in their blog post.
In regards to this, I am still not sure if that person was doing something wrong or if they had a faulty unit but mine is working without a hitch. At the time of this post, that person's website is down.
