It depends on what kind of deal you are getting. The SP300i is a great machine and, as a tech, one of my favorite machines to work on. They are reliable and get the job done. That being said, most of the time you can get a Mimaki CJV30 54" for about the same money. The Mimaki uses newer head technology, is easier to maintain, comes with a take up reel, and even with all of the better features, it is cheaper.
