2tradewell - it depends on which stocks you want to trade and how accurate you need your data. The Island ECN handles roughly 10-15% of the total volume of the NASDAQ. So for all stocks, the prices and orders you'll see on Island will always be an approximation. However, many of the higher volume stocks (eg NAS 100) do a significant percentage of their volume on Island. For example, JNPR does 1/3 on Island and CSCO even more. For those stocks, Island will be a pretty good approximation.
