I cut vinyl on the side with a Gerber Envision 375 that I picked up about 2 years ago. It is not a conflict of interest with my current company since we do not offer cut vinyl. I am thinking of trying to sell my Envision 375. I love the machine but it is only 15" wide and I do not have an Edge or a copy of Omega to pair it with. I would like something wider since I have to reject a job or two on occasion. I am thinking at least 24". The Envision works extremely well but is a bit ugly cosmetically. I have searched Ebay and see that these machines are selling for $3-5k used. It seems to me that I should be able to sell this machine if I can indeed get a good price for it and switch to a 24" Graphtec. I know that the Envision sells for $12k new versus less than $2k for a new graphtec CE5000. I can't help but wonder what makes the Envision so expensive and is there something I will miss later on by moving to a friction feed Graphtec? My longest typical cut at the moment is around 30 feet but this is just 1' tall lettering. I do not think I have done a single continuos cut longer than 3'.
