MHM X-Type vs M&R Sportsman

[Pangea]

Looking for some opinions, X-Type 10/12 vs Sportsman 8/10. We're looking at our first auto (used) and wanted to see what the consensus is. I'm thinking any auto is better than keeping on with the 6/6 Chameleon.

Our Synchro S-type is over 20 years old and still running great. You would want the registration unit for it as well, it's well worth it.

I have not used either but my knee jerk would be to go with more colors. I have never said... "the only thing that would make this job faster/better would be 2 less print heads".

If buying used definitely do your research on both presses. I would say the access to techs/service is most important when buying used. If going new, more colors is definitely a plus but like you said anything is better then continuing with the manual. Also if going new, I would skip the Sportsman and go right for the Cobra. Price difference isn't big enough to not get a Cobra in my opinion.

Sounds like used is what he wants and someone like Bill Foust (SC) is an excellent consideration for parts and service for M&R. He refurbishes and stands by what he sells vs buying direct ie buyer beware quite often
