Why don't you ask to direct machine sellers.
They will well entertain you OR guide you to choose.
I suggest you to go for second hand option if and only if you can't afford to buy this kind of machine.

To get independant advice. A machine vendor will only tell you how wonderful /his/ machines are. He won't tell you about any of their faults or failings or that someone else has better machines or customer service.

Do you really think that someone in the UK is stupid enough to buy a second-hand machine from India, which they haven't even seen, and pay the extortionate shipping costs when we have plenty of dealers, of good repute, of used machines here in the UK?

Besides which, Cropwell was asking about NEW machines.

Somebody going to buy or Not, really I don't have any idea about this rather I can't predict that.
But if somebody really need anything, then he will reach at anyplace in the world.
So if felt I was wrong then fine.
Sorry for suggestion. Avoid this thread.
Have a nice day.
