It is my humble opinion that Tajima was the cap leader, until recently. I have seen a "Tajima vs Amaya XT" cap competition. Each has their own advantages. But Amayas cost less, sew faster, Does AMAZING PUFFY, and Each part of a design can be Completely Customized "settings by color", but Amayas require more maintenance. What impresses me with Melco is that they are ALWAYS striving for improvement. And regarding Puffy, it took me quite a while to perfect, but I got that darn Amaya to Puffy that would knock your socks off. I'm talking SQUARE 3/8th of an inch Thick Puffy with Crisp 90 degree Edges! NO rounded edges and No "belly" in middle. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
