Which printer would you buy?

This is just a bit of fun…

If money was no object,
What single printer would you buy for your shop and why did you pick it?
Rules:
- It needs to be able to run you’re shop for the next 5 years
- your old/current printers cannot continue to operate.

Durst RHO 2500L. We wouldn't get any roll through it really, but of we could only choose one, rigid boards pay the bills around here.

Honestly, there are some single pass machines out there for a few million bucks, but I don't know enough about them and I don't think they would fit in our shop.

StratoJet Shark FBR-2512 decent speed - 2400dpi - CMYKW + Red (they also have other light and spot colors too), Flatbed and Roll to Roll attachment (with a 100" LED panel for backlit banner which I really like).

Saw one of these at the Fast Signs in Phoenix AZ looked very interesting.

some interesting reply’s so far.
Everyone has different needs so it’s always great to see what people would lean towards.

Myself, I’d go for a swissqprint nyala3s with white ink. It would cover everything we do.

We are primarily a vehicle graphics company, so of we had to choose 1 printer and 1 printer only for 5 years it would have to be a Latex R2000. It's not a speed demon but it will still allow us to do both boards and our primary business.
