I have seen a few EZ's from Claudes 16/33 to a 32/47 . Simple staright forward machines - Obviously some are very low budget machines ( Claudes machine was as basic as you get - but coming off losing everything after a divorice , it got him back in the game and enabled him to claw his way back up again ) , and some are higher dollar units - depends on the guy spending the money. I wish I could have started with an Ez because I would have been done with a portable a whole lot sooner .
Again , not everyone gets in the business flush with the cash to buy the biggest baddest , heck, even what the traditional manufacturers are asking for their entry level machines .
