Subject: advice on laptop mobile carts?

Hi -

Please forgive the cross-post ...

We are looking for a mobile laptop cart that can hold 20 thirteen-inch
MacBooks. We'd like to be able to:

* Charge all 20 MacBooks at one time, as speedily as it's possible to do
safely.
* Turn off/reduce charging when laptops are fully charged.
* Move the cart easily, and without the power bricks falling out of =
their
power strips.
* Keep the cables neat and untangled.
* Get quick feedback on which MacBooks are charged and which aren't.

We do NOT need space on the cart for a printer or an access point.

Apple is advertising a new Bretford cart (TX322) that looks like a
possibility, but I'd feel better if I got feedback from someone who had
actually tried it before I purchase.

What carts have you used successfully for laptops? Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
Terry
