Looking to buy a "New Laser" need some help

[Barneylaser]

We are in the process of looking to purchase a "New Laser" We have looked at all the "Big guns" Such as Bystronic, Mazack, Cincinnati, Trumpf, Strippit/LVD, Prima/Finn and Amada. I think we have narrowed it down to either
Strippit/LVD or Prima/Finn.
My main question is about Prima...Does anyone have any experience with A Prima SYNCRONO or just a Prima in general. How is their service? Availability of parts Ect... You all know if you ask the "Sales people" There service is always the best and they all have every part you would ever need on hand at all times. My other question is Prima uses a DC resonator and Strippit/LVD uses a RF resonator (does anyone see a problem with this?) or does this really matter?

I moved this over to the Laser engineering Forum[b/] of course you can still comment here if you would like.

Go Mazak.

all you need is a champion. . . . these things are rock solid, and relatively cheap compared to the 4000w energy hogs.
1300w it can cut .5" mild steel. plus it is scalable so you can tandem more than 1 together and add a material handler for a really sweet affordable system.

This is one machine where I think you get more than what you pay for.
