Cowboy cb3200 or cb4500?

[Bustedmp77]

Not intending to make a seat just yet. I'm after a nice Mustang seat. Function over form for me there!

I did consider reshaping my factory seat though before.

Well, in a few weeks I'll be making the drive to pick up a new CB4500. Ryan said he would have it ready for me by the 13th, but I can't go out until the 24th. The wait is agonizing!

I believe the CB4500 is the right choice. What you really want is the higher foot lift and thicker sewing capacity. The Cowboy 4500 sews about 7/8".

Longer or shorter arm is not that important IMHO unless you sew saddles and blanquets. But it's a nice add on since some Holsters a a bit cumbersome and big and so you can easily turn them around without needing to Twist and bend the leather through them machines space.

I myself have sewn shoe soles (outer sole + thick PU middle sole + top leather) which maxes out the capacity of foot lift (any less then 7/8" foot lift would make it impossible to sew that). So the foot lift is the most important Feature which you really Need.

Yes, with the bigger one, you can always sew smaller items, but with the small one, you can't sew larger stuff. For the difference in price, I went with the one I'll never have to upgrade. Buy once, cry once!
