Thank you all for the responses, they have truly aided me in making a decision.

I think that might give you that last little touchy feely that you are looking for to make your decision.
Most places do not share this kind of information as it would be a breech of their customer's privacy - however, that is why I have come to places like this forum for your valued opinions! Thank you!

Thank you that is good to know. I CAN trade in my machine head only to APQS - but for 1/5th of what the whole set up would be worth to sell outright. Very very good to know.
