The Cyclades units are the unix systems of serial consoles: you can do
just about anything with them. I was completely blown away at all the
configuration options on those things.
The Digi CM units aren't nearly as flexible, though they certainly
handle standard console setups just fine. I ended up ordering the Digi
because I've had good prior experience with the company's products,
it's got Linux under the hood, and it was ca. $1000 cheaper than the
Cyclades. (I got it on sale from Dell for a few hundred dollars below
retail price.)
