Having been good and not bought a cheper end of the market mini, I am probably going to buy a Woodfast M305 Midi, but I am in a quandary as to who to purchase from.
Carbatec in Launceston have them at $495
Woodfast will do one direct for $399 (+ Plus a hefty $99 freight to get to the South Island). However they said they would also include, "testing of the machine plus some upgrades to the machine before shipping it to our customers these upgrades are only done by us on direct to customer sales" .
My question is this, what upgrades could they do that they think are necessary but obviously the manufacturers themselves don't do to all machines?
So do I buy local and therefore can return the machine if/when there is a problem, or do I go with a prechecked machine and fingers crossed not be hit by a freight charge of $99 to get it repaired if soemthing goes wrong?
