Whew this thread is getting pretty long on people trying to push their favorites.
Champlain, I do have athought for you though. These reviews you are pulling up seem to be recent and limited and looks like 2005 to 2007 models.
I guess my point is I would be interested in the long term stats instead of some new no mileage machine that a manufacture had given me to test.
I would want to know how the production run machines perform over time, instead of maybe some made for test type machines.
No need for more research or to beat this to death as the majority already have thier minds set, but if I was in the market for a new machine, the numbers don't mean much and want tosee what works well in the field and here from the users.
