I agree with allot of the downfalls of the Sporty-Tex and BETA machines in general. I also appreciate all of the advice and constructive criticism. Maybe it isn't such a smart choice for my operation.
No matter how you look at we will be adding another press. My thought process is leading me more towards a new Mustang, proven technology and over a decade in production, just a different name. I know Barnes is also involved but what is your real opinion of these machines. This may be my opportunity to get a new machine, not used and still be within budget. Once again what are your views. All info is appreciated.
Thanks

Good Luck to you and I think you know your business better than anyone! You seem to want to Buy from Robert Barnes and I say its your money and spend away. I think everyone here has given enough info and you seem like you have your done your homework already.

Just look at how well the Playtex's went! Remember he told us they would put M&R out of business (LOL he couldn't even sell 20 machines), they would be the best machines on the market (they break all of the time). Truth hurts.

You are the new Jeff it looks like, just sayin'.

You clearly know what you are doing...right? Why don't you just put up or shut up and do it?

More criticism from a guy with obviously more than just a Graphics Disorder.

You seem to be comfortable with the person representing both presses so I suggest you go for it. Why waste any more time here asking for input you are not going to like. Go for it!

Why not an RPM..??

Why not A Stratus II..??

Hell... Just Why...?

I guess i'm just feeling left out that M&R hasn't tried selling me a press yet.

You will being calling them in less than a year! LOL

Just buy the Mustang and let us know how your choice turned out.

You should be fine as long as you pay NO money until it is installed and I mean NO money. Make sure you have talked to 2m and RPM to see if they will sell you parts and service it, just as a back up. Good Luck!

PS, I would like to see the personal guarantee and contract with Robert Barnes name on it. Also just for shlt and giggles get a quote from RPM and look at their contract language and compare them both with us.

Go for It! Robert will take good care of you!
It is a good press.
Less talk equal more time printing.
My Daddy told me a loooooong time ago" Convince a Women against her will,
She is of the same opinion still" Switch women with "printer".
Dont feel left out! You will be in good hands!

I dont think one bit of sleep will be lost over you not buying a M&R press!
A sigh of relief, will be more in order!
