I am considering getting a TZ or TOM, and wondered if the net-net outcome of finding a working but routed machine and swapping in a new REPRO PF would be significantly less $ than the $7k or so I would spend to find a unit in great condition? Half of me wants to explore what a full PF swap is feels like, and the other half of me does NOT want to spend 200(?) hours enjoying that adventure. If the difference is a couple of thousand dollars, then perhaps its worth it. But if its a wash on pricing, I would be happy to save the 200 hours.
Thoughts?
