Anand, If you do some simple math it works out better in the long run in my opinion. For example, I just ran 600+ polos for a prison. The design took 25 min on my EMT machine at 650 SPM. Same design took 18 min on my AMAYA at 1000 SPM. I saved 7 min per shirt on the AMAYA. Multiply that times 600 and by sewing them on my AMAYA I saved 4200 min or 70 hours in production on AMAYA vs EMT. After running the 600 shirts on 2 AMAYA's then I had to grease the rolers and do some Maintenance on both AMAYA's to the tune of say 2 or 3 hours. So I still saved over 65 hours in production. So, comparing apples to apples which do you prefer? I am seriously considering trading in my 4 head EMT for 3 AMAYAs and I beleive if I traded it in for 2 AMAYA's I would be ahead in production and with 3 I will be able to out sew the 4 head easily plus have the versitility to run 3 different designs if I need to although those 3 would probably mostly run the same design. Just my opinion.
