I think it looks a bit like a nedz with a dragonfly tensioner.

looks like the Dragonfly is the most copied rotary these days...

"Designed and entirely manufactured in Italy" I wonder if people wouldnt buy the machine if they told "Based on the popular Dragonfly model"

350 EU About $460 USD. Whats the average cost of the dragonfly in Euro? 450 EU?

But you have to add tax on both so theyre just 45€ in difference... I would spend 45 more and buy the original the frame looks a little better specially the bottom part

Well rip off or not, the fact the motor isn't recessed like the dragonfly is a bonus as far as I'm concerned...

To look at it again, I wouldn't really call it a copy. Inspired by sure. But there are a few differences that are very different. Like the vice looks totally different. The body is different, simpler even. Who knows how the give works ( it might not really work at all like the DF copies or it may work great ) it could be a different system. Also like someone else pointed out that the motor looks flush, this to me is a plus as well. I do however agree with Wildboy, at that price you might as well get the original.
