Design is a matter of taste, for me the TFA is but almost a design classic. Other highlights: + Direct slide switch to turn on each alarm separately, with green inspection window for checking + Intuitive operation + Large display, easy to read + Automatic lighting function that works well + Mignon (AA) cells and therefore longer service life Supplied and backed up + Batteries + Good radio receiver (time receiving less than half a minute) + High-quality processed plastic housing + Fast delivery If you still considered the most reasonable price, the additional cost to a Technoline WT87, with whom we have rumgeärgert us for several years, a joke. The Technoline eats batteries like dry bread, has hardly contrast when battery levels are low, a bad reception and a complicated operation. The TFA Dostmann other hand, is a dream. I am a bit annoyed that I have not already bought this alarm clock.
