Barton, You have an invite from Matt to see his shop. I think he has Epilogs, (MATT UPDATE YOUR SIGNATURE )
Take him up on it!
Epilog has a REALLY good distributor in Dallas area. Trotec is local also. There is a REALLY good Facebook group for Epilog, they WILL let outsiders in, I'm on there and I own a Chinese laser. you can ask anything and get a response.
And probably some good advice too.
I would definitely do MORE research, looks like you want to buy a bunch of stuff, and Yes, make your money count. I too would forget Full Spectrum. Buy Chinese direct or by from Rabbit laser!
DO NOT Buy Chinese thru Amazon nor Ebay! you will be disappointed as there is NO support nor Warranty. I've seen it happen.
