Default It comes down to economics

We just have to wait for the state to decide what its going to do and let us know - then the decisions will be easy.
  1. If they keep the token system and don't give ez-pass discounts - we stick with tokens (for us, about $150/year savings).
  2. If they give only NH purchased EZ-pass the discount, we buy a NH EZ-pass.
  3. If every EZ-pass gets a discount, we get the box from NY state (who doesn't sell it for $30 like NH wants to do, but just takes a deposit)
  4. If there is no discount and tokens are discontinued - we complain a lot and go with option 3.
The real winners will be those who have to go through the Hampton tolls on weekend. The EZ-pass will reduce their wait - for the rest, its just saves a few seconds and you don't have to hunt for tokens or roll down your window.
