I chose my machine both because of the true Cat 1 3ph, but even more of a deciding factor, became the curved FEL arms. You've got a much better view than on any of the dog-leg type loader arms.
The parent company for the blue machine you're looking at is Case New Holland. I ended up with the Case version - the only differences were the color scheme, and the headlights and grille (which I personally liked a little better than the blue version), plus it was $400 cheaper. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Check out the pics of my newly delivered Case DX24E below.
Dealers for the Case may be fewer and farther between. I was fortunate in that the dealer I got mine from carried both the Case and the NH, along with Kubota. I looked at all the brands, but I really liked some of the features of the new Case New Holland subs. There are some little details, both construction and comfort, that just seemed to be very well thought out.
