Quoted from nonik:What advantage does the MM?
.- The originality? yes.
Everything else are disadvantages, in the same price i dont have any doubt, i'd buy the MMR.
pd. sorry for my english...
Originality and... I sure do like the color dmd on my original, also the ability to customize my LED's lastly the original harware has been proven reliable over the last 17 years. Time will tell if the new system will stand the test of time.
Just my .02 cents
Quoted from John_I:My knowledge of the WPC95 system is that it is not exactly reliable. I had tons of trouble with my MM. Fortunately I am good at electronics repair or it would have been constantly in the shop. Sure it is all a crap shoot, but I stand by my statement that the average MMr will be more reliable than the average MM in home use.
No doubt both systems have their benefits, and it is a close call. If you are going to give me one or the other then I will be glad to take either. If I am buying it with my own money then I am taking one NIB.
Really I have owned 5 MM's in the last 14 years and not one of them had any electronic "trouble" the system is pretty damned reliable IMHO
Quoted from dung:I believe I've owned every type of hardware from the 90's and up except Alvin G and Spike. Had problems with all of them. Nature of the beast. The notion that you've had 5 machines in 14 years and never once had an electronic issue seems like a fluke.
I had plenty of problems with my TZ and a few issues with Adams but all 5 of my MM's had no board/electronic issues (besides switch adjustments ect)
