I had a Flite V2 and I do miss it, its quite the capable machine. I now mostly use the Hawk Pen and the Swash Compact, the Compact I feel is just as flexible as the Flite and way faster to adjust on the fly-- At least with the stroke which is probably the most important for me. The give is adjustable to but it doesnt hit nearly as soft as the Flite can but for how I tattoo it doesnt matter anyhow. The Pen is a great machine, I like how you cant adjust it, makes tattooing more linear for me. I mostly use it for blending and color packing
