Steiner 430 vs Ventrac 4000 series

[EquipJunkie]

I am seriously considering buying one of these machines and would love any and all feedback comparing them. I am quite familiar with the "specs" of each and the technical differences, but would love to have input from those who know the real world practical differences. Please share your experiences and bias.
Thanks

I don't have any experiance with them except to say that the people who STARTED steiner eventually sold it off and they new owners changes way things were done, so they re-opened new company, /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif guess the name! and they are both over in Orville Ohio which I've actually been in the ventrac plant # 2 where they assemble and powdercoat many of the parts. I can't afford one but whew they are nice... I don't think any of the attachemtns are interchangeable with anything else on either one, so make sure you get the attachemtns you want as a package deal to get better pricing...
