Docking Solutions for the Lenovo ThinkPad T400s

The T400s uses a "Series 3" dock that is not compatible with previous versions.  Specs for the 2 docks are annoying to find, and hard to compare.

Here's my summary table:

Feature  ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3 (4337-10U) ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (4338-10U)
USB Ports 6 6
Video
(any 2 can be used simultaneously)
VGA, DVI-D, DP VGA, 2 x DVI-D, 2 x DP
Audio Analog microphone in, headphone out
e-SATA storage 0 1
RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet 1 1

 Both have Kensington cable locks, ship with 90w adapter, 1yr warranty.  The DVI-D ports DO NOT support the attachment of a DVI-D to VGA adapter.
