nice chat,,everyone is missing one big point...i don't care what you buy...save all the money you can..but,,,any thing you use,,,will eventually break!!!! you can buy a machine from mars...but can you get parts, service,and support from mars???? i don't think so...last thing i'd want to do, is to mail order a machine and have no local dealer!!!! what do you tell a customer when your machine breaks down on the job?? 1 : service guy is comming,,,i'll run to the dealer get parts,,,i'll get loaner to finish the job
or do you say 2: i bought a no name machine, from a no name company from mars..Boy, did i save a boat load of money!!!! but my machine is stuck in your yard, till the mars shuttle comes in... ( slow boat from china) ,,,so i'm not only willing to screw the rest of my work week up,, i'm going to screw your plans up also, to save a few bucks!!!!!!
