Hi folks.
A couple of years ago I was looking into buying a Trotec Speedy engraving machine. After going back and forth with the local sales rep, and discovering a LARGE price discrepancy from what I was quoted. I passed on it and went in another direction for my business.

Now I am back and revisiting the idea of a laser. For my business, the CO2 tube would cover most of what I do and need it to do.
On my personal and hobby side, I would like to have the Flexx/fiber option. I am a competitive shooter and would like to mark my firearms, magazines, etc.

Now I understand that the fiber option is not optimal on the gantry type machines. But as the fiber side would mainly be used for my personal use, I do not need a super fast marker.

For those who have dual sorce machines, are they worth it? Do you actually use the fiber often?

Is 20 watts enough for aluminum and plastic?

Thanks for any input, Stan
