We bought our SP300V Versacamm 3 years ago, after researching it for a couple years (well, honestly we dragged our feet until the price came down) This is the 30" machine-Debbie got the larger one. At times I wished we went for the 540 because I do 4'x8' panels for another shop. But there is no way I'd have room for that big a machine. ALWAYS wait to buy until you get to a show (USSC show, end of Nov. every year in Atlantic City is where we go) because they go on sale! Usually $3,000 off. And if there is a model change-dealers will dump the older model fast. I do NOT recommend buying it on line-because these machines are finicky and you WILL need to have a REAL live tech to take care of them. Warranty is great-and when it runs out-DEFINITELY get the extended warranty. I don't care what some people say about 'put the money in the bank'...on a Versacam-the print heads don't last long-they can go bad easily-and that's a $3,000 bill to replace them! Our machine paid for itself the first year-doing signage for United Ways across the country. Our amaya...well, the last lease payment is next week-with interest-it cost us almost $25,000 and was the worst financial disaster we ever got into! Hate to say it-but having just one isn't worth it. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
