Yep, a lowly Chevy owner here, so I have M&R.

Heck, Dirkdiggler is a Honda and Volvo driver, M&R Shop, and Graphic Disorder has a dam Ferrari, yeah the actual car, & M&R shop. Need a different analogy. More like, find what fits you and your needs. First time automatic owner, may actually have to test the waters, but what ever you do, build a relationship with a company, and then loyalty speaks volumes! I can't see anyone at this time offering a support system like the one M&R has in place. There are enough people here on the forum with plenty of experiences. Find what you feel is best for you, not what someone else, no matter what they run or promote, "think" would be best for you.
I think the analogy with car brands and auto presses has been debunked when it comes to actual owners and what they run, but I guess it can still be correct in theory. Toyota and Lexus owner here, RPM and M&R presses. These two machines are so completely different in most of their ways, but in what I consider the main reason why we chose the M&R this time around, it's EXACTLY the same in regards to the printing system. They both use 4 chopper cylinders and a carriage rail and there is no difference in how the machines get the ink from the screen to the shirt. So with all of the differences in how the machines are used by the operator (buttons, switches, etc.) when it comes down to it the most important factor is identical from the M&R to the RPM. So I don't really think there are any analogies that really work here. And I'm a big "analogy type of guy", I use them all the time, mostly in a comedic way but still, I think they are a great way to explain and teach things. But it just doesn't work in this debate.
What if you drive a Trabant?
