    I would never choose style over function but I think the H&M looks more like a solid tattooing tool than the Alan Dixon one. But the H&M isnt adjustable at all. Does a rotary motor need a cooling system anyways? The description says its a motor with a cooling system on the Dixon machine...

    I think the functuion would be better on the dixion ,the h&m looks looks like it has the same cheap made connection setup like a stealh.Also looks like dixion actually made a abar for this type of setup. lol i did not even notice that it had a heatsink until i look closer.

    the cooling system is the heat synch around the motor. This is why there is the odd looking stagger around it. To be honest it looks like it was designed by a RC racing enthusiast.

    It does look like someone with an RC background designed parts of it for sure! Although I actually think the motor mount is the most sensible/practical I've seen on this style of machine; why bother holding stuff in a can with grub screws etc when most motors that size come with mounting holes on the front anyway. Not sure about the heat sink, there is possibly some merit in having one but it looks a little ott / garish. My only real grumble is the patent pending and other shit written all over the machine, I'd want commission for advertising using that.

    Does anyone know how much it even costs?

    His website looks relatively new,the coil machines look well made are attractive and a fair price. The Rotary looks nice too,but of course we have to wait until somebody uses one.
