You might look at what was the old NIAD site, now undergoing a TechDis
makeover:
http://www.techdis.ac.uk/technologies.php
I don't like it quite as much, but they're still working on it and it has
lots of useful stuff.
In practice, the most important thing about how well equipment will work is
what the student thinks about it: familiarity will go a long way to
overcoming design flaws while resistance to novelty will undermine the
benefits of superior technology.
