Funnily enough i had an email from the chinese company this morning responding to my request of UK sales information. Sure enough they listed 4 or 5 people who i have now sent emails to asking there opinion. Have just had one reply saying that the machine, whilst not brilliant, certainly does the job and that overall he is very happy with the whole deal. Yet to hear from the others but am now finding myself leaning back towards the chinese market as the prices cannot be simply ignored. Tell you something though, since i have started learning about all the available machines (been at it about 3 weeks now), its occured to me that there is a mind boggling list of things you have to consider! My head is starting to hurt! I wonder if i will ever be able to make a decision lol!
