    So, what do you use the swash for that you don't use the other machines for? Does it have a 'specialty' in your book?

    Everything as the Gen 7 has a softer hit than the original Gen 6 but I use a Neo 2.5 for most of my lining except feet and neck I use the Gen 7 so i dont get too much penetration...

    i use a gen 1 and a prototype swash for all my large scale japanese work. use my gen 6 for tribal stuff.
    i wont line or do black and grey with em, and tend to only use them for larger scale work where the
    weight is a real benefit.

    I have a gen 5 use for mainly for color or solid fields of tribal. I can do Lining with it or BnG.The early gens had slower motors that take more volts, so they do work good for japenese or color bomb.
