Hi all,
First off, I've been reading this forum for a while. Thanks for all the great info!
I'm looking at purchasing my first laser. After months research, talking to my local reps, shows, etc. I've narrowed my choice down to either a GCC Spirit 40W (29x18 bed) or a GCC Explorer 30W (38x20 bed). I can get either for the same price.
So my question to the 'creek is what would you recommend? Especially those who own or have used both of these machines.
I plan on using the laser for photographs and personalization of items, (although I plan on expanding into other things as well) so I don't have a critical need for the larger bed size right now. (I've read all the comments on more watts vs. larger bed, so I'm not trying to start another debate on that :) ). I'm mostly interested in comparing speed and quality of output, and any issues people might have found in day to day use of these machines.
Has anyone else had any experience comparing the two?
Thanks,
Kevin
