If anyone wants a good deal on a purchase of SCALP, go to the US Cutter site, to the Specials, Outlet and on the second page they have refurbished machines. you can get the 14" MH cutter with SCALP for $170. It doesn't say what version but it should be easy to argue that it should be the current version. I got my SCALP3 this way for $140 and have a backup cutter. Worst case is you are paying another $50 to upgrade so you get the cutter for $20.
