Brogue Punch Die Cutter Machines Types, Models, Resources? List Your Knowledge

[MuddyClearWaters]

I'm very interested in leather die cutting machines as a new tool for my work. I have spent a long time just trying to track down names and models or even keywords to search for these types of machines. I've seen a number of models and types in photographs of shoe factory tours. I'm looking for a machine that will punch up to 3oz hide with small single holes or traditional double dot brogue patterns like is put on shoes and boots. I've found a few models ranging from a reasonably priced brand new Italian made machine here http://www.shoemachinery.com/germany/sps/sps-962-s-0i-tcsa-/perforating-punching-for-shoe-uppers/new.7595.detail.html to this lot currently for sale of two PEERLESS 1815 die cutters with a huge collection of heads for 3500.00!

I understand these machines are rare I'm wondering if any other members have or have used any kind of machine like this. I'm on the fence about this kind of equipment. For the cost I'll probably be investing some serious capital into my own laser cutter which will make this type of machine totally obsolete.
