"They're complicated machines. They differ in how you insert the zygote and how you decant the baby, and in how much fine control they can offer with respect to what the embryo's floating around in which I want particularly because I know a lot of genetic details and how those will interact with the replicator environment. They vary in how the placenta attaches when it forms, which as near as I can tell makes no difference to anything, and tolerance for environmental variation, which can - the ones sold on Beta Colony have to handle extreme exterior heat in case the air conditioning breaks, you don't want an entire batch of babies in progress wrecked because your air conditioning tech didn't show up; there are versions billed as being particularly earthquake-tolerant too!"
