I have the smaller Hooptech Clamp system and also have the full set of Fastframes. I plan to get the larger Clamp System soon. I have not used the Fasframes since I got the clamping system. It can do everything the fastframes do and is easier. I have not yet used the Clamping system on the AMAYA's as I use them for mostly contract work since they sew so fast. I use the Clamp System on the EMT's and it works great.
