No problem. I have plenty of good ones, think also a QED.
On looking closely I am using a Kimber from Freeview to Tivo and one of Stan's inventions from Tivo to TV.
All work well, but put in the shade by the HDMI from the (HD) Freeview output

Well yes my use for Scart has diminished but I still run older games consoles into scart switch boxes Thor and One for all with remote control. I was particularly interested in getting the longer QED leads 3m and 5m as I dont know my future plans for where the console racks are to be placed.
I dont notice any problems from running them through a switching unit
Some units might be eligible for HDMI conversion but I do like having a few quality scart leads in my spares box. The QED does the main duty into the tv and they are lovely looking cables.
Cheers

Surprising. Would think a switching unit would drop the quality.
Fortunately I don't need one !

Ixos made some nice scarts as well. I thought both QED and IXOS about on a par. Have a few kicking around and still use some from the video recorders I still use from time to time.

Yes anything that runs though connectors and internal links to another connector is not going to improve matters. I have however been pleased with the resulting picture and nothing has disappointed me as being too lossy or inferior.
AB demos is not what this is about with scart and I certainly dont want to be plugging cables in everytime I want a different unit connected. There will be some level of degradation but I choose convenience. I could choose to change the leads for a straight path if it bothered me. It doesnt so its all good
I would rather not have to use switching units but what can I do when I have lots of equipment
The best SCART cable is the Thor. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...cable&_sacat=0
I know that, because I designed it myself and won a What HiFi award for it as well.

I have one running from Tivo to TV.
Great quality at a silly, low price
