How much are machines in the USA?

Earl Smith

HI, Can somebody help me please. I live in Germany . We seem to have high prices for machines over here and it would help me a lot to know what the prices are in the USA. I am about to buy my first machine after I have negotiated prices and extras etc. It would give me some more ammo against the suppliers if I knew the USA prices. ie, what they can really come down to.
The prices in Europe are:- for the machine, about 20,000 to 22,000USD and with all the frames and software etc about 26,000USD including tax.
I am looking at the Amaya XT, the Toyota ESP9000 and the 15 head Tajima. All are about the same price here.
Does anyone have an opinion on which is the best of these 3 machines to buy. Service here is very good. Machines and software are all compatable.
Thanks , I hope to get some feedback and when I am up and running hopefully I can be of help too.
