Two Premium Radiology Workstations
At their core, these workstations solve many of the same problems.
Both provide:
-
An 84-inch straight configuration
-
Four-leg stability
-
Dual independently adjustable work surfaces
-
Sit-to-stand adjustment
-
Multi-monitor support
-
CPU, power and cable-management options
-
Space planning and project support
These are two different approaches to a professional radiology reading workstation.
Biomorph Tells You What’s Inside
Biomorph combines Minnesota-made work surfaces with premium components from established ergonomic manufacturers.
The Level 3 Plus uses LINAK lift technology for its independently powered surfaces.
For this build, we use Humanscale M8 Pro monitor arms, each rated for displays from 9 to 50 pounds.
Minnesota-Made Work Surfaces
The Level 3 Plus work surfaces are made in Minnesota and feature Biomorph’s contoured Comfort Edge.
They are paired with a heavy-duty steel four-leg architecture, LINAK-powered adjustment and premium Humanscale monitor arms.
The result is a workstation designed around long, demanding professional workdays.
What Exactly Are We Comparing?
For this article, we configured two 84-inch straight radiology workstations for a three-monitor diagnostic reading setup.
Both include monitor support, CPU storage, power and cable management.
We chose the XM8 rather than the lower-priced XM6 because its RollerVision system is the closer comparison to Biomorph’s individually adjustable monitor-arm approach.
New Reading Room or Workstation Upgrade?
Our Biomorph pricing assumes a new reading station, so we included three brand-new Humanscale M8 Pro monitor arms.
But not every project starts from scratch.
If you're replacing an existing workstation and already own compatible monitor arms for your diagnostic displays, you may be able to reuse them with the Level 3 Plus—and reduce your cost even further.
Our Biomorph Level 3 Plus Build
For a new radiology imaging reading station, our 84-inch configuration includes:
84" Biomorph Level 3 Plus — $5,000
3 × Humanscale M8 Pro Monitor Arms — $1,848
Leg-Mounted CPU Holder — $250
Desk2Device USB Charger — $120
CableCab + Cable Spine + 10-Outlet Power — $675
Configured Level 3 Plus: $7,893
This is our publicly available single-workstation retail pricing. These options are available to buy in our dual-surface desks and accessories collections online. Just add to cart and purchase.

Our Xybix XM8 Build
Using Xybix’s online builder, we configured an 84-inch straight XM8 with RollerVision, a three-monitor diagnostic setup (two 21" and one 30" monitors), CPU storage, 10-outlet power and comparable cable-management accessories.
The builder displayed:
Configured XM8: $18,380

This is the builder price for the exact configuration used in this comparison—not a prediction of what every Xybix customer will ultimately pay.

Xybix final pricing may differ due to contract, negotiated or project pricing. Larger Biomorph projects may also qualify for project-specific pricing. Shipping and installation are not included in the Xybix builder totals shown.
Why Compare Level 3 Plus to XM8?
The XM8 is the closer ergonomic comparison because it includes Xybix’s RollerVision monitor system.
RollerVision provides greater control over monitor height and focal depth.
That makes it more comparable to the extensive positioning available from the individual monitor arms used with the Level 3 Plus.
What About the Xybix XM6?
You can reduce the Xybix builder price by moving down to the XM6.
Our similarly configured 84-inch XM6 displayed:
Configured XM6: $14,288
That saves $4,092 compared with the XM8.
The biggest change is the monitor-positioning system.
XM6 Uses RollerPlatform
The XM6 uses Xybix RollerPlatform.
Diagnostic monitors remain on their manufacturer-supplied stands and are secured to the platform. The platform moves forward and backward to change focal depth.
It does not provide the same individual articulated positioning available from monitor arms.
Using Existing Monitor Arms is Not an XM6 or XM8 Option
The XM6 monitor system is designed around RollerPlatform rather than conventional monitor arms.
That matters when upgrading an existing reading station.
If you already own monitor arms that work with your diagnostic displays, they cannot simply be transferred to an XM6 or XM8. The workstations uses its own monitor mounting systems.
RollerVision provides greater height and focal-depth adjustment, which is why we consider XM8 the more appropriate comparison to an articulated monitor-arm setup.
Level 3 Plus Gives You Another Option
Level 3 Plus uses conventional monitor arms mounted to an independently powered monitor surface.
For a new reading room, you can configure it with premium Humanscale M8 Pro arms, as we did here.
For a workstation refresh, compatible existing monitor arms may be reused.
That gives facilities more flexibility in deciding what actually needs to be replaced.
Now, Let’s Compare the Workstations
Dual Independently Adjustable Surfaces
Both companies get one of the most important elements of radiology ergonomics right.
The keyboard surface and monitor surface adjust independently.
That allows monitor height to be adjusted without forcing the keyboard and hands into the same vertical position. Both workstations provide professional dual-surface architecture.
Four-Leg Stability
Both workstations use four-leg architecture.
The Level 3 Plus uses a heavy-duty all-steel four-leg frame beneath two independently moving surfaces and a substantial multi-monitor setup.
For its larger 95-inch Level 3 Plus, Biomorph adds a fifth leg for even greater stability.
The Biggest Difference: How the Monitors Move
XM8 uses RollerVision to adjust the monitor system.
Level 3 Plus takes a different approach: the entire monitor surface adjusts vertically while each diagnostic display is mounted to its own articulated monitor arm.
That gives radiologists adjustment at both the work-surface level and the individual-screen level.
Each Monitor Moves Independently
Radiology setups don't always use three identical displays in identical positions.
With individual monitor arms, each screen can be adjusted for height, focal depth, tilt, angle and orientation.
The complete monitor surface can then also raise or lower independently from the keyboard surface.
Humanscale M8 Pro: 9–50 Pounds
Our configuration includes three new-generation Humanscale M8 Pro monitor arms.
Each supports displays from 9 to 50 pounds, providing substantial capacity for professional diagnostic screens.
The arms also incorporate Humanscale’s Weight-Compensating Spring Technology and Smart Stop functionality.
Powered by LINAK
The Level 3 Plus uses LINAK technology to power its independent work surfaces.
It provides digital height controls, presets, soft start/stop movement and a published adjustment range of approximately 22.1 to 48.6 inches.
Biomorph identifies the manufacturer of its lift technology directly.
What Powers the XM8?
Xybix publishes extensive information about what its workstation and RollerVision systems do.
In the public materials we reviewed, however, we did not find the manufacturer of its lift columns or motors identified by name. Biomorph publicly identifies LINAK as its lift-technology supplier.
That does not mean one system is inherently better. It is simply a difference in component transparency.
Sit or Stand
Both workstations provide a broad professional sit-to-stand range.
Level 3 Plus publishes a 22.1-to-48.6-inch adjustment range, while the Xybix information reviewed shows an approximately 22-to-48-inch range.
Both allow radiologists to change working positions throughout the day.
Power and Cable Management
Multi-monitor reading stations require serious cable management.
Our Level 3 Plus configuration includes:
-
CableCab
-
Cable spine
-
10-outlet Tripp Lite power
-
Desk2Device USB charging
-
CPU storage
Xybix also provides integrated cable-management, CPU-storage and power options.
Comfort at the Work Surface
Biomorph’s contoured Comfort Edge creates a softer transition where arms and wrists meet the desktop.
Combined with independent keyboard-height adjustment and individual monitor positioning, the philosophy is simple:
The workstation should adapt to the radiologist.
Both Companies Offer Project Support
Buying one workstation is different from designing an entire radiology reading room.
Both Biomorph and Xybix provide professional project assistance, including space planning, workstation configuration and installation support.
Both also provide access to U.S.-based teams who can help specify larger projects.
Transparent Pricing Does Not Mean Less Service
Biomorph allows you to see and purchase a single workstation at publicly available website pricing.
But customers planning larger healthcare projects can still work directly with a sales representative for:
-
Space planning
-
Workstation configuration
-
Monitor requirements
-
Accessories
-
Seating
-
Installation
-
Project pricing
You get transparent pricing and personal project support.
Now Compare the Price
Biomorph Level 3 Plus: $7,893
Our complete 84-inch Level 3 Plus configuration is:
$7,893
That includes the workstation, three heavy-duty Humanscale monitor arms, CPU holder, USB charging, CableCab, cable spine and 10-outlet power.
No negotiation is required to receive that price. Just go to the product page, choose from 8 desktop colors, accessories, add to cart, and purchase.
Xybix XM8: $18,380
The Xybix builder displayed:
$18,380
for the comparable 84-inch XM8 configuration shown in this article.
That makes our configured Level 3 Plus:
$10,487 less
than the XM8 retail builder configuration.
Xybix XM6: $14,288
Our lower-priced XM6 builder configuration displayed:
$14,288
That is still:
$6,395 more
than our configured Level 3 Plus.
As a reminder, the XM6 also uses the less comparable RollerPlatform monitor system rather than RollerVision.
Why Xybix Pricing Can Be Hard to Compare
Xybix pricing is not represented by one simple online purchase price.
Its website publishes ranges, while the configurator displays a builder price. Contract pricing and additional discounts may also apply.
To determine an organization's final price, buyers generally need to work through a salesperson and quote process.
Your Xybix Price May Be Lower
Hospitals, imaging centers and health systems may receive contract pricing or negotiate discounts from the Xybix builder price.
We don't want to guess what another organization might ultimately pay. Either way, you must contact a salesperson to get pricing.
That is why we use the builder price for the exact configurations shown here rather than attempting to estimate a negotiated Xybix price.
Biomorph Pricing Works Differently
With Biomorph, the single-workstation price is available upfront.
Configure what you need.
See the price.
Add it to your cart and buy.
You don't need to contact a salesperson simply to discover the price or determine which discount may apply.
Already Have Monitor Arms? The Math Changes Again
Our $7,893 Level 3 Plus configuration includes $1,848 of brand-new Humanscale monitor arms.
If you're replacing an existing workstation and can reuse compatible monitor arms:
Level 3 Plus configuration: $6,045
Add $850 White Glove Installation:
Installed workstation: $6,895
That can make Level 3 Plus particularly compelling for workstation refreshes.
What About Installation?
Biomorph publishes White Glove Installation directly on the product page:
White Glove Installation: $850
Add installation to our new-workstation configuration:
$7,893 + $850 = $8,743 installed
Again, the price is visible upfront.
Now Add a Premium Chair
Ergonomics doesn't stop at the workstation.
Add a premium Humanscale Freedom Chair for $1,850.
Now the complete new Biomorph reading station includes:
-
84-inch Level 3 Plus
-
Three Humanscale M8 Pro monitor arms
-
CPU holder
-
USB charging
-
CableCab and cable spine
-
10-outlet power
-
White Glove Installation
-
Humanscale Freedom Chair
Total: $10,593
And It Is Still Thousands Less
For one workstation:
- Biomorph Level 3 Plus + accessories + installation + Humanscale Freedom Chair: $10,593
- Xybix XM6 builder workstation: $14,288 (plus installation)
- Xybix XM8 builder workstation: $18,380 (plus installation)
The complete Biomorph package is still:
$3,695 less than XM6
and
$7,787 less than XM8
One Important Detail About Those Numbers
Our $10,593 Biomorph total already includes White Glove Installation and a $1,850 Humanscale Freedom Chair.
The Xybix builder prices used here do not include shipping or white-glove installation.
We have not attempted to estimate those additional Xybix costs.
Reusing Monitor Arms Can Increase the Savings
If you're upgrading an existing workstation and reuse compatible monitor arms, the economics change again.
Level 3 Plus with our other accessories and White Glove Installation totals $6,895 before seating.
Add the $1,850 Humanscale Freedom Chair and the complete upgrade becomes:
$8,745
That is $5,543 less than XM6 and $9,635 less than XM8 using the builder prices shown in this comparison.
All Pricing Here Is for One Workstation
Every price in this article represents one workstation.
Larger reading-room projects are different.
If you're purchasing multiple workstations, Biomorph can help with space planning and complete project configuration and may offer additional project or volume discounts beyond the single-workstation website pricing shown here.
Why Have a Sales Rep If Pricing Is Online?
Because larger projects still require planning.
Our sales team can help determine room layout, workstation size, monitor requirements, accessories, seating, cable management and installation.
For multi-workstation projects, we can also provide project-specific pricing.
You get upfront pricing when you want it—and personal project support when you need it.
So, How Different Are These Workstations?
They Are Actually Very Comparable
Both are serious professional radiology workstations.
Both offer:
-
84-inch straight configurations
-
Four-leg architecture
-
Dual independently adjustable work surfaces
-
Sit-to-stand ergonomics
-
Multi-monitor support
-
Power and cable management
-
U.S.-based project support
-
Space planning for larger installations
The biggest differences are monitor architecture, component transparency, buying process and price.
Their Monitor Approaches Are Different
XM8 uses Xybix’s proprietary RollerVision system.
Level 3 Plus combines an independently powered monitor surface with individual heavy-duty Humanscale monitor arms.
XM6 provides a lower-cost Xybix alternative but uses RollerPlatform and monitors on their supplied stands.
Different approaches can fit different projects.
For a New Room, Compare the Complete Workstation
If you're building a new reading room, compare everything needed to create the finished station:
Workstation. Monitor support. CPU storage. Power. Cable management. Seating. Installation.
That's why our full comparison includes three new monitor arms and even shows the cost of adding a premium Humanscale chair.
For an Upgrade, Consider What You Already Own
If you're refreshing a reading room, the analysis can be different.
Your diagnostic displays and monitor arms may still have years of useful life.
Level 3 Plus can potentially allow compatible existing monitor arms to be reused instead of requiring an entirely new monitor-support system.
That can materially reduce replacement cost.
The Biggest Difference May Be Value
The Xybix XM8 is clearly a capable professional radiology workstation.
The question isn't whether it works.
The question is which features your radiologists need, which components you already own—and what you ultimately pay to create the right workstation.
For the configurations compared here, the largest measurable difference is price.
