9. “I would like to recommend a 41" corner desk instead of the CubeCorner 48. At this size, you still have enough width for 2 monitors, but it fits MUCH better in the corner of a desk (those extra 7" on the Varidesk aren't really usable space). They're also going to be better quality and less expensive. Do you think such a substitute would be acceptable? I'd be happy to send more information in advance, if you think that would help.”

A) Please offer a bid that coresponds with the specification within the combo. Deviating from the basic specification in the combo will not suffice the requirement. Only “or equal” items will be considered.
