We successfully upgraded our Inova-600 with 600/51 round bottom Oxford
magnet with a new Bruker AVIII-HD console and Prodigy cryoprobe.
Bruker makes a thin RT shimset that fits in the 51mm magnet and works with
their standard probe diameter. We bought the SmartProbe, Prodigy BBO
cryoprobe and 4mm CP/MAS probe.
The upgrade worked out extremely well... I recommend it.
