Mike,
My opinion, for what it is worth.
As far as the machines, they are of a good quality, not unlike pretty much all the machines built these days. The main thing is support and service. Don`t you find it interesting that there aren`t any machines locally for you to look at ??
I`m sure the Virtual dmis demo was impressive, but did YOU bring a large cad file for them to read in while you watched ??? There has been some problems with this in the past, perhaps this issue has been resolved.These guys have a very small share of the market, therefore may have less tech people available if you breakdown....
Boards like this help quite a bit, but also look at the pc-dmis board, people who use this software and share ideas and even the manufacturer steps in once in a while to help out. I think B&S has a better setup for support based on the shear number of users. It doesn`t mean its alot better software (which I think it is)it just means there is more resources available. I hope I haven`t offended anyone, this is just my opinion, based on my experiences.
