Need assistance selecting a Model

[cadman 0]

I've been in the sign biz for 28 years and have used most of the big guys gerber, wild, muhto, etc.  The only plotter I've owned myself was the original camm-1 back in the arly 90's.  I now use a Graphtec 4100-130.  How do refine, creation, laserpoint and copam stack up to the Graphtec I'm using for cut quality, noise, etc.  The graphtec is 8+ years old now and I would hope these uscutter machine would be on par.  Do any or all of the machines have a tangential knife option.  I will be using Flexisign 7.xx pro.  Also has anyone used these machines to plot from Autocad.

Any of our cutters will work with Flexi. The Copam has been reviewed above a Roland, and just under a Summa or GraphTec, and the others rank lower, but still good as beginner, hobbyist or backup units in a production setting.

I have LaserPoint, which I'm sure didn't rank near the Graphtec, but I'm really happy with it. I do CAD too, but haven't had the chance to run it with a pen... but am extremely happy that it came with one 

Other forum members have run it with pens, from what I can tell, they get really good results.
