 You can work this out yourself if you know the size/weight of the thing
you're sending:

 compare
http://wwwapps.ups.com/servlet/QCCServlet?iso_language=en&iso_country=US
 to 
http://ircalc.usps.gov/
 
 Guessing completely that your enlarger weighs 20lbs, USPS is $86 for 2-3
days, $83 for 4-7 days, $41 for 4-6 weeks.

 UPS wants post codes for both ends, so having guessed completely at that,
it comes out as $141 for 1-2 days or $131 for 4-5 days.

 In other words, USPS is _way_ cheaper.
