A workstation in a 24/7 critical environment has a different job than an ordinary office desk.

In a 911/PSAP or ECC dispatch center, RTCC, fire or EMS communications center, security operations center, command-and-control room, network operations center, utility control room, transportation center or similar environment, the workstation becomes the operator’s center of operations.

Multiple screens and systems need to stay visible and organized. Equipment needs to be accessible. Different operators may use the same position across multiple shifts. And someone may spend eight, 12 or even 16 hours working from that station.

So when comparing command-center furniture, the question is not simply:

Which workstation has more features?

A better question is:

Which features does each operator position actually need?

That is particularly relevant when comparing the Xybix Falcon with the Biomorph Level 3 Plus.

 

Falcon is designed as a highly integrated, self-contained console. Level 3 Plus takes a more modular approach: start with a highly adjustable dual-surface workstation, then configure the monitors, CPU storage, power, cable management, charging and lighting appropriate for the environment.

Both companies also provide project support. Buyers can work with sales representatives on space planning, room layouts, operator requirements, workstation configuration and multi-position installations.

So this is not project support versus buying a desk online. It is a comparison of two different ways to build the operator position.

First: Falcon Is Not the Xybix XM6 or XM8

We previously compared Biomorph Level 3 Plus with the Xybix XM6 and XM8.

Falcon is a different Xybix product.

Xybix describes Falcon as a self-contained, single-position console designed for demanding 24/7 environments including 911/PSAP dispatch, security operations, command-and-control, network operations and training rooms.

The XM6 and XM8 are different platforms with a different market focus. Xybix itself distinguishes Falcon as its streamlined, integrated console, while its XM line is designed for a different set of users and applications.

So if you are researching dispatch consoles, command-center furniture or 24/7 operator workstations, Falcon is the more relevant Xybix product for this comparison.

Looking for the XM comparison instead? See our Biomorph Level 3 Plus vs. Xybix XM6/XM8 comparison guide.

What Exactly Are We Comparing?

For this comparison, we are intentionally using the largest similarly sized workstation from each company.

Biomorph Level 3 Plus: 95"

Xybix Falcon: 96"

Xybix offers Falcon in six straight work-surface widths from 66" to 96".

Biomorph Level 3 Plus is available in five sizes overall. For the multi-screen critical environments discussed here, the most relevant range is:

60"   |   72"   |   84"   |   95"

Biomorph also offers a smaller 48" model, but we are leaving it out of this particular discussion because most of the applications in this comparison require more multi-monitor workspace.

For the head-to-head comparison, we are using the largest:

95" Biomorph Level 3 Plus vs. 96" Xybix Falcon

Our Fully Equipped 95" Level 3 Plus Build

We are not comparing a bare Biomorph desk with a fully integrated Xybix console.

We are configuring Level 3 Plus as a serious 24/7 operator workstation with the equipment we would reasonably expect for a multi-monitor dispatch or command-center position.

Biomorph Level 3 Plus 95" — $6,300
4 × Humanscale MFlex M2 Dual Monitor Arms — $3,596
Supports up to 8 monitors
2 × Leg-Mounted CPU Holders — $500
CableCab + Cable Spine + 10-Outlet Tripp Lite — $675
Desk2Device USB Charging — $120
Humanscale Element Vision Task Light — $426

Fully Equipped Level 3 Plus Before Installation: $11,617

White Glove Installation:

$850

Fully Equipped and Installed: $12,467

That is the single-workstation price used throughout this comparison.

For larger command-center installations, multi-position projects may qualify for additional project or volume pricing, particularly when several stations are being delivered and installed at the same location.

Comparison research current as of August 31, 2026. Xybix publishes a typical Falcon price range of approximately $18,000–$23,000 including freight and professional installation; final pricing varies by size, features and configuration. Biomorph pricing shown here reflects the specific 95" Level 3 Plus configuration used for this comparison. Promotions and project pricing may vary.

What Does Falcon Cost?

Xybix publishes a typical Falcon range of approximately:

$18,000–$23,000 including freight and professional installation

Xybix says streamlined configurations generally fall near the lower end and more fully equipped configurations near the upper end.

That gives us a much cleaner comparison than trying to estimate pricing from an old contract or discount schedule.

For this article:

Biomorph Level 3 Plus 95", fully equipped and installed: $12,467

Xybix Falcon: approximately $18,000–$23,000 including freight and professional installation

That is a difference of approximately $5,533–$10,533 per operator position.

But price alone does not answer the question.

What Are You Getting for the Additional Integration — and Do You Need It?

Falcon is a very integrated console.

It includes several sophisticated systems that Xybix has engineered directly into the operator position.

The Aviary provides suspended CPU and equipment storage with active cooling.

The Falcon Arc provides powered monitor-array movement, including vertical adjustment and approximately 10" of fore/aft focal-distance travel.

The Keystone Data Dock provides a configurable bank of operator-accessible connections.

Lumora and AXYS lighting can provide task, ambient, bias and footwell illumination.

And the entire Falcon is designed to arrive substantially pre-wired and pre-assembled.

Those features have value.

Two Different Approaches to Ergonomics

The height specifications are extremely close.

Biomorph Level 3 Plus: approximately 22.1"–48.6"

Xybix Falcon: approximately 22"–48"

So both provide substantial sit-to-stand adjustment.

The more interesting difference is what moves independently.

Falcon

Falcon uses a full-depth operator work surface combined with an independently powered Falcon Arc monitor array. The monitors can move vertically and approximately 10" forward and backward so the operator can adjust viewing height and focal distance.

Level 3 Plus

Level 3 Plus uses two independently powered work surfaces. That lets the operator establish keyboard/input height separately from the rear monitor/equipment surface. Individual displays are then positioned using Humanscale articulated monitor arms.

These are two different solutions to the same ergonomic problem.

Falcon separates the monitor array from the operator surface.

Level 3 Plus separates the two work surfaces and uses articulated arms for individual monitor positioning.

Eight Monitors on the Level 3 Plus

For this configuration, we are using four Humanscale MFlex M2 Dual arms, creating:

8 monitor positions

For a dispatcher, RTCC operator, security analyst, network operator or command-center user, that provides substantial screen capacity without requiring an integrated proprietary monitor-array system.

It also keeps the monitor hardware modular.

If a monitor changes, an arm can change. If a heavier display requires different support, a higher-capacity arm can be specified for that position. If the technology layout changes several years later, individual components can change without necessarily replacing the workstation.

Falcon takes a more integrated approach through the Falcon Arc.

Neither approach is inherently better.

One is integrated.

The other is modular and configurable.

CPU Storage: Do You Need the Aviary?

This is one of Falcon's strongest differentiators.

The Aviary places computers and other equipment inside a suspended compartment that travels with the workstation and uses dual fans to actively remove heat from the enclosure.

Our Level 3 Plus configuration uses two open leg-mounted CPU holders. They keep the computers secure, off the floor and attached to the moving workstation while leaving the CPUs openly ventilated and accessible.

So the relevant question is:

Do you need an integrated, enclosed and actively cooled equipment compartment at every position?

If the answer is yes, Falcon's Aviary is a well-designed solution.

If the requirement is simply secure, accessible CPU storage that moves with the workstation, the Level 3 Plus configuration provides that without adding an enclosed equipment system to every position.

Do You Need a 16-Port Data Dock?

Falcon's Keystone Data Dock is another clear example of the integrated-console approach.

The dock can be configured with up to 16 operator-accessible connections, including USB, CAT6, HDMI, DisplayPort, audio and other ports. Adjacent shelves also provide power and USB charging.

Sixteen configurable connections is substantial capacity.

That can be valuable in an operation where users regularly connect and disconnect specialized devices directly from the console.

Level 3 Plus handles power and connectivity differently.

Our configuration includes the CableCab with Cable Spine and a 10-outlet Tripp Lite power system, which organizes monitor, computer, power and data cabling beneath the rear work surface and routes it cleanly through the workstation.

We also include Desk2Device USB charging directly at the workstation.

So this is not simply a comparison between a 16-port dock and a USB charger.

It is a comparison between:

An integrated bank of operator-accessible data connections

and

An organized power, charging and cable-management system designed around the installed technology.

If operators routinely plug and unplug USB, network, video or other equipment at the workstation, Falcon's Keystone dock provides a genuine advantage.

If most technology is installed once and remains connected, a 16-port operator-facing dock may be more infrastructure than the position actually requires.

Falcon integrates more connectivity into the console. Biomorph keeps the workstation infrastructure organized while leaving the technology configuration more flexible.

Lighting in a 24/7 Environment

Lighting matters in a room that may operate around the clock.

Falcon offers an integrated lighting ecosystem that can include task, ambient, bias and footwell lighting.

Our Level 3 Plus configuration includes the Humanscale Element Vision Task Light.

Additional room or workstation lighting can be planned as part of a larger Biomorph project when needed.

This is another example of the fundamental distinction:

Falcon incorporates more functionality into the console itself.

Biomorph lets the customer configure the workstation around the requirements of the room.

Factory Integration vs. Modular Components

One of Falcon's strongest selling points is installation efficiency.

The console arrives substantially pre-assembled, pre-wired and pre-configured. Xybix says on-site work is primarily positioning and leveling the console and connecting building power and data.

For organizations that want a standardized command-center console delivered as one integrated system, that can be attractive.

Level 3 Plus is built differently.

The workstation itself is a defined product, while monitor arms, CPU holders, cable management, power, charging and lighting remain individually serviceable components.

That modularity can also be useful over the life of the workstation because individual components can be replaced or reconfigured as technology changes.

So the distinction becomes:

Falcon: integrate more at the factory.

Level 3 Plus: configure more around the operator position.

What Could a $23,000 Operator-Position Budget Buy?

This is where the price difference becomes more tangible.

At the upper end of Xybix's published Falcon range:

Falcon: approximately $23,000 installed

Our fully equipped Level 3 Plus configuration:

Level 3 Plus: $12,467 installed

Now add the same premium ergonomic seating used in our other workstation comparisons:

Humanscale Freedom Chair: $1,850

That creates a complete Biomorph operator position of:

$14,317

Compared with a $23,000 Falcon budget, that leaves approximately:

$8,683

The point is not that every Falcon costs $23,000. Xybix publishes a range of approximately $18,000–$23,000 depending on configuration.

The point is to understand the opportunity cost of the equipment being specified.

At the upper end of Falcon pricing, the budget for one console is approaching the cost of two fully equipped Biomorph Level 3 Plus workstations.

And that is before considering potential multi-station project pricing from Biomorph.

Multiply That Across a Command Center

Per-position differences become significant quickly in a multi-station environment.

A department replacing 10, 20 or 30 operator positions should therefore evaluate each major integrated feature rather than simply compare two furniture products.

Ask whether the operation needs actively cooled enclosed CPU storage at every position. A motorized integrated monitor array. A large operator-accessible data dock. Integrated console lighting. Factory pre-wiring.

Or is the primary requirement a highly ergonomic, organized, multi-monitor workstation that can adjust quickly to different people across long shifts?

The correct answer will vary by facility.

But multiplied across an entire room, the difference can become a meaningful capital-budget decision.

Both Companies Can Help Plan the Room

This is important: the choice is not DIY Biomorph versus consultative Xybix.

Both companies can support larger projects.

Biomorph can work with customers on space planning, operator-position layouts, workstation sizing, monitor configuration, power and cable management, accessory selection, installation planning and multi-station projects.

Xybix likewise provides design and planning support and says its team can review the room, technology, workflow and operator requirements.

The difference is that Biomorph also gives you a defined product and visible single-unit pricing before that project conversation begins.

You do not need to begin with a contract price list, calculate a percentage discount or request a special quote simply to establish the starting cost of one Level 3 Plus workstation.

For a larger project, you can still request project pricing.

Falcon Offers Six Sizes. Level 3 Plus Covers the Core Command-Center Range.

Falcon is offered in six straight widths:

66", 72", 78", 84", 90" and 96"

For the command-center environments discussed here, Level 3 Plus provides:

60", 72", 84" and 95"

That gives planners several footprint choices, including a smaller 60" option for tighter environments.

For this comparison, however, we deliberately chose the largest:

95" Biomorph vs. 96" Falcon

Which Workstation Is Better for a 911 Dispatch Center?

There is no universal answer.

Falcon may be particularly attractive to a center that wants a standardized, highly integrated console with built-in CPU cooling, data connectivity, monitor infrastructure, lighting and factory wiring.

Level 3 Plus may be more attractive to an organization that wants strong 24/7 ergonomics and multi-monitor capability while maintaining greater flexibility over the individual components and overall cost of each operator position.

For a large rollout, the financial difference may also allow an organization to put more of its budget toward seating, technology, room improvements or additional operator positions.

What About Shared Workstations and Different Operators?

This is exactly where adjustability matters.

A position used by several people across different shifts has to accommodate different heights, arm positions, viewing preferences, keyboard heights, monitor sightlines and sitting or standing preferences.

Both Falcon and Level 3 Plus provide substantial height adjustment.

Level 3 Plus adds independent adjustment of its two work surfaces, allowing the operator to establish keyboard/input height separately from the rear monitor and equipment surface.

Is Falcon More Customizable?

Falcon offers meaningful configuration within its platform.

Customers can select different sizes, storage, data-port configurations, lighting, monitor positioning, end panels and finishes.

But Falcon is intentionally designed as a standardized, self-contained Xybix console.

Level 3 Plus is also a defined platform, but much of its technology is selected as modular components.

That gives buyers flexibility in choosing monitor arms, CPU storage, power, charging and lighting independently rather than having every function engineered into one console architecture.

Does Falcon Include More Built-In Technology?

Yes.

That is one of its major differentiators.

The Aviary, Falcon Arc, Keystone Data Dock and integrated lighting ecosystem are all examples.

The buyer should decide whether those systems are:

Required

Useful

or simply:

Nice to have

before applying the same specification to every operator position.

Is Level 3 Plus Just an Office Sit-Stand Desk?

No.

Level 3 Plus is a large, multi-leg, independently powered dual-surface workstation built for substantial professional equipment and multi-monitor environments.

The 95" configuration supports up to eight monitors and includes five legs for additional stability. It can be equipped with CPU storage, professional monitor arms, power distribution, cable management, charging and lighting.

The distinction is that the infrastructure remains more modular rather than being engineered into one proprietary console system.

Which Is Easier to Install?

Falcon has a legitimate advantage in factory integration.

Because the system arrives substantially pre-wired and pre-assembled, much of the console-level integration has been completed before it reaches the site.

Biomorph offers White Glove Installation and can coordinate larger installations, but the Level 3 Plus accessory ecosystem remains modular.

Organizations should evaluate installation as part of the total project, particularly when deploying numerous positions.

Which Is Easier to Change Later?

This is where modularity can become valuable.

Command-center technology changes.

Monitors change. Computers change. Connections change. Input devices change.

A modular workstation allows individual components to be replaced or reconfigured without necessarily replacing the infrastructure surrounding them.

A highly integrated console provides exceptional organization on day one, but buyers should also consider how they expect the technology stack to evolve over the useful life of the furniture.

How Do I Know Which Approach Is Right for My Project?

Start with your operators rather than the furniture.

Determine how many screens they actually need, what equipment must remain at each position, whether enclosed CPU cooling is required, how frequently data connections are accessed, which lighting needs to be integrated into the workstation, how many people share each position, how much independent adjustment is required, how often technology changes and what the budget is per operator position.

Then specify the workstation around those requirements.

Not the other way around.

The Bottom Line

Xybix Falcon is an impressive purpose-built command-center console.

It integrates CPU cooling, monitor positioning, data connectivity, lighting, equipment storage and factory wiring into a single operator-position system.

That integration is exactly what some mission-critical environments want.

Biomorph Level 3 Plus starts from a different premise.

Create an extremely capable ergonomic workstation first. Then add the components the operator actually needs.

For the largest models in this comparison:

Biomorph Level 3 Plus: 95"

Xybix Falcon: 96"

Both offer substantial sit-to-stand adjustment.

Both can support demanding multi-monitor operator environments.

Both companies provide project planning and multi-station support.

But the way they build the operator position is different.

And so is the price.

Fully equipped 95" Level 3 Plus: $11,617

White Glove Installation: $850

Installed: $12,467

Add a premium Humanscale Freedom chair:

$14,317 total

Xybix publishes typical Falcon pricing of:

$18,000–$23,000 including freight and professional installation

The question is therefore not simply:

Which console has more built-in features?

It is:

Which features does your operation actually need at every position?

If Falcon's integrated cooling, motorized monitor array, configurable data dock, integrated lighting and factory wiring solve important operational requirements, their value should absolutely be part of the decision.

If your operators primarily need eight-screen capability, excellent ergonomics, independent work-surface adjustment, CPU storage, premium monitor positioning, power, cable management, charging and task lighting, Level 3 Plus offers another path at a substantially different price point.

There does not need to be one universal “better” choice.

If your operation wants the Falcon's fully integrated console architecture, Falcon gives you exactly that.

If you want greater component flexibility and a lower-cost path to a highly equipped 24/7 operator position, Level 3 Plus gives you that option.

And at the scale of a 10-, 20- or 30-position command center, understanding that distinction can have a meaningful impact on the project budget.

Same mission: keep operators comfortable, organized and focused in a 24/7 critical environment. Different approach to building the position.
