Lloyd, I’m completely smitten with the magic box concept.

I get the issues with them, but if they can be solved, then it is my preferred system.

Funny – that Zehnder unit looks a lot like the Panasonic FV-04VE1 WhisperComfort unit that has been around for a while. You can even get a split Styrofoam “Y” adapter so you only have 1 hole to drill, similar to the Zehnder. I’m still toying with attending the Philly convention (as I can get a senior discount rate).

I was there and spent some time trying to figure out what the magic box did, concluded it was as sort of heat pump that acted as the most complicated HRV ever, and ran away screaming. Loved the other two though.
