I will probably go with an Oxford Tigmaker - the weight isn't really a problem unless you need portability. They seem to have a pretty good name and are probably easier to repair if they go wrong.
You'll always wish you got an inverter. And feel a bit sore when you pay as much for one of them as a second hand synchrowave.
Check out used quality machines my Lincoln was £5k new but you would have got a huge chunk of change from your £2k for what I paid for it 2nd hand.
There's nothing wrong with an oxford but it's a lot of money for outdated technology.What is wrong with the Oxfords and why is an inverter better? I really need to know.
I know a used quality make will always be the best bet BUT if it goes bang a week later you will have thrown away a lot of cash!
The v205’s can be had for a lot less than that.Lincoln was £5k new
Oxford's pedal is their own (Tecarc), well built all steel solid bit of kit. I can't fault it.
I have a Tigmaker 270 with cooler and pedal and find the power is awesome but also very controllable.
Any chance you could make a vid of that in operation ...No one has done one yet and I am trying to sell my partner on getting one ...
What do you need to see exactly?
