So I bought an A model back in September for $900 not knowing anything about the machines. Since then I've learned a lot and am currently currently trying to decide if it's worth getting all the upgrades for my current machine or just buying a new one. Any advice?

The machines are basically the same .. Make upgrades as U need... The 1st thing would be to get rid of the Quick Chuck ... Most of the advancements have been with the software .... I've been using my A machine for yrs... Many other folks here are still running A machines ...

I would do a cost analysis to see what the upgrade costs might be. Call a hardware tech to discuss.

Paid $ 900 for an A machine ,,, a little high if there were no extras included ... A carvetight hook-up would be a good start ... Most of the bonuses of the Machine come Via software ...
