Happy or Amaya

I have to choose between a Melco Amaya XT 2005 and a Happy HCA 40 TT 2003. Anybody with experience with these? I narrowed in on them because I need a wide sewing field and both boast the widest in the industry for single heads. I am scared of the Amaya because I hear it costs even more money to relicense their software, but it looks so good in pictures! (I know, dumb criteria!) would appreciate input.

Hey I cant comment on the Happy, but I run a three head shop with two of them being amayas and I love my Amayas I think once you get used to running them because they are different you can almost keep up with a four head machine.I use to own a melco 4 head and I can almost do the same jobs as quick with these amayas.I would remeber that everybody has different tastes so go to some shows see what fits you the best and what kind of service you would be getting.

Best wishes,
Don

I and my employees love the Amaya XT. My girls fight over who gets to run it versus the traditional multihead just about everyday. Its easy to run, easy to setup and learn.

Thanks. I was leaning toward an XT!
