Wildgoose, After much thought, I think you're right. The Graphtec 24" seems the way to go. It's not like the LPII is going anywhere. I could always use that for the few occasions I need a larger format, or at least until I work through the 30" roles that I have. I've tried to do separate pieces on the LPII before but tracking not being the greatest, it was passable but not perfect.
