Well, I can't say I really have a choice anymore. Like I said, I've already bought the LPKF. I mainly wondered if you had any "heads up" sort of advice/warnings about what to look out for. I don't know if it's the same company, but years ago (1989/1990) had a Roland DXY 8-pen plotter. I didn't realize it at the time, having never seen anything to compare it to, but it was about the slowest plotter I've ever seen. When I later replaced it with an HP I couldn't believe the difference. It was approaching an order of magnitude.
