I found Moore's book "Digitizing 101" while doing a Google search a few days ago and was going to ask some people their opinion of it. Since you recommend it, I may just buy it. Would purchasing the DVD's by John Deer just be redundant? Or would you recommend one over the other? We also did the Tajima tour last Wed and were impressed by the equipment...built like Bull Dozers, good training and support. But a number of things have me leaning towards the AMAYA XT: 1. The modular concept adds a greater dimension of flexibility. 2. Two AMAYA XT Heads are about $6,000.00 less than a Tajima M series 1502 (2 head) 3. The AMAYA @ 210lbs is portable.......the Tajima at some 550lbs (1 Head) is not. 4. Training and support appears to be about the same with both companies. 5. There is a noticable speed advantage with the AMAYA XT 6. The Auto Tensioning feature seems to be a really big plus. Other USERS say that it works well. These are my conclusions so far.....
