New or used is the question. I have a Challenger which I bought used. It is a pretty good lift and is better than the new hobby ones. Overall, I believe presently Rotary makes the best if you can afford one or find one used.
Austin, good luck in your opportunity and I plan to stop over in the near future to check out your shop. Once you get set up, will you offer Cr members some specials or specials on hourly work?
