Personally I am thinking of going with the entry level Prodigy from MRC. I have owned many MRC products over the years and have been very happy with them.
They are not a Mom and Pop operation, but a large corporation who has been in business many years. The only problem I have with the Mom and Pop or One owner operation is, what if the owner should pass away? Will someone take over for him? Will you be able to get parts and service anymore? I know the answer to all of this from personal experience. Either the company no longer does business or it is tied up in the courts forever, and you are STUCK. Cont. Next Post
