Im in the market and was told this is the right place to come and get opinions / advice on which company to go with. Im in the $5k price range and plan to use the laser to engrave, and cut leather as well as engrave Delrin to make leather stamps. I've narrowed my search to either the Boss LS-1416 or the FSL 5th gen.Although, I'm heavily leaning more towards the Boss only because I've hear horrible reviews about the Tech support at FSL and I've read great things about Boss tech support. The bonus to me is that Boss is only an hour away which means tech support / repairs are only an hour away too. I stopped by Boss the other day and they gave me a demo of one of their machines which was very nice. I plan to go with the 60w uprade and the Engravelab v9 uprgrade. Im staying with everything else that comes standard to stay under my budget.
So, my questions are -
1. For those of you who have or have had a FSL or Boss laser, what did you like or dislike about the machines and or the company itself?
2. Is Boss the better choice? or is FSL the better choice?
3. Am I wrong about the FSL tech support? Is it better than what im being lead to believe?
thanks
