Snooze Oh dear! You are still debating.

We have been there before. You can’t go wrong with any one of these — Mara X, ACS Minima, Bianca and Vesuvius. If you can afford Bianca, I am sure, you can afford Vesuvius. Of course, it’s your money and it’s your decision.

Based on your list, my choice would be Vesuvius!

      LMSC and I’m glad I’m still debating since it made me realize that I should maybe consider the Vesuvius.
      Thanks for your response.

          Cuprajake there is a bunch in fact. But yes the choice is a bit overwhelming.

          In the interest of avoiding annoying anyone more than it already did with my back and forth dilemma, I’ll stop.

          I appreciate the time you guys took to respond.

            Snooze Please contact ACS on the Vesuvius, see the net cost to you inc taxes, customs, … and go from there. Let’s know how you got on. Best wishes!

                Snooze Please give Paolo a call and discuss in details. He will give you the breakdown on the phone. You can then work out just the taxes and import duties on top.

                      I’ve went through this whole thread. Snooze did you end up purchasing the vesuvius v2? I’m dying to know what you ended up purchasing! I was determined to buy mara x v2 (after potentially buying a used profitec pro 500 but realizing temp control is better on mara x). But now I hear about acs minima which opened another door haha. I’m also looking at bianca v2 as they’re on sale (in US—hope it’s okay joining UK forum). If the seller can lower the bianca v2 price a bit more i may go for that instead.

                          Esohn in US—hope it’s okay joining UK forum)
