We chose the Sabre based on its versatility and its ability to gain functionality.  It is one of the most user friendly presses I've run and trained others on.  The Sabre is also TriLoc compatible, if that's a deciding factor.  The Sportsman is a great too and I doubt you would be disappointed with either machine.

I also went with a Sabre in the past year, in fact I bought a 6 color and upgraded to an 8 color a few months later.  I have been very pleased with it and it is very user friendly and I also made the decision to go with it due to the upgrades available to the software interface.  But overall but companies are established and have excellent support so it will likely come down to pricing and availability in your area to which one you pick.

my point is, we just had this conversation last week and we went through lengthy back and forth about not being given enough information to make a quality suggestion. . .
tell us more about what you need otherwise we might as well be talking about cars.

p.s. based on Tundra, I'd say get a TAS!

Hey I drive a Tundra and have a Sportsman 1.3million prints in and not a down day. Easy to use and train on if the operator has printed manually before.

Gotcha,
I asked a vague question Hoping for some background and others experiences. I take commercial work and also run a preprint line with 4 retail stores. Currently running a 5 and an 8 color brown to get it done. On average I'd say we make 7000 to 12000 to  prints per month. Sometimes more. Average job is maybe 3-4 colors and 75 pieces. It's clear the sportsman is built a lot more heave duty but considering the cost difference....is the sabre heavy duty enough handle my work load. Thanks in advance for your time.

you might want to double check the pricing difference. I don't think the Sportsman is that much higher than the Workhorse unit.

When we were deciding between the Sabre and the Sportsman, the price was nearly identical.

I'd love a sub section in Equipment with MSRP's of popular pieces, and common configuraions and  from all of the manufacturers.

Both are capable, but our/the Sportsman seems more hefty, hefty.
