my PERSONAL opinions:
The 3M machines sound MUCH better than MCI's (which I frankly think sound lousy)
but a good sounding machine that doesn't run is of no use to you, so unless you have real maintance, skip it.
I'd suggest an A800, or an MTR 90.

My personal opinion is that wwittman is from the anti-matter universe and I might hafta strangle him in the time tunnel thingie that joins his universe to the one I reside in.
Just kidding... of course.
Anyhoo.
I think a well maintained jh24 beats the flying fuck outta the A800 from a euphonic character standpoint, and certainly the utterly DREADFUL MTR-90.
Mark WHATEVER.
Guys who can't keep them(JH24) running might wanna check into another profession as they are the SIMPLEST MACHINE TO WORK ON IN THE HISTORY OF THE EARTH.
OK. I'm exaggerating again.
The Coleman stove is a little bit easier.
Parts are mostly easy to get and when these machine break.... they break in the same BORING and PREDICTABLE fashion. I manage to keep 4 of them running around the clock with very few problems at all.
Go figure.
The 3M's are LOVED sonically. I used to work on both M79 and the M56 quite a bit. My old boss and mentor could fix them in his sleep. I just found silly ways to stress and destroy them. By all accounts... they are somewhat tougher to keep flying.
In any case:
Come over to the dark side.
Help to hurl wwittman and that whole generation of 'Studer Snobs' under the bus.
Buy a JH24.
