Hello, John has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Buying tips - first telco. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?6006-Buying-tips-first-telco Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** ---Quote (Originally by yarbsea)--- I'm trying to decide on which Melco I should order - maybe someone can weigh in their thoughts. I finally was able to figure out that the Bravo line seems to be something in between their industrial machines and home machines, but is it the same machine simply with features such as speed and sewing field reduced by software from the XTS? Also the EMT16 - how much can I expect to pay? I can't seem to get a quick answer without talking for an hour about software needs (I want full software with all functions) (Bravo being 9-12 depending on software).. I guess my real question is - is the Bravo good enough? I need a machine that RUNS...great quality, nice and fast. That's it...i don't want problems, i don't want to babysit the machine, I just need it to produce... ---End Quote--- Look into buying an amaya resale... That's your best value. Then have it serviced before sewing a stitch by a great tech. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
