Guys, I love all of you, and I am closing this topic for everyone's benefit. I wish people would stop posting "which machine is best?" topics and post "I want to do this and that, what will work best for me?" You guys all know your stuff, and we're grateful you share your insight and knowledge. Let's keep our discussions relevant and useful, and not make a circus out of leatherworker.net. People come here because they want to know something, not because they want to trigger landmines.
