You've got a nice collection there! I don't think I'd ever part with any of those. If I didn't use them every day, I'd put them in a display case to be used on occasion, when the spirit moves me.

Just food for thought - as for rotaries with/without give - many people find that they use different ones for different things. Some find machines with adjustable give too annoying to tinker with, others love them for lining because they feel the most like a coil machine. There are some very reasonably priced ones out there, and occasionally, someone on here will sell a Rapier or the like, which makes for a great "intro to rotary with give" machine at a very good price. I like to think of rotaries the way someone might do tebori. YOU are very much in control of needle penetration, and for less give, make sure you have a good, hard stretch. For more give, ease up on stretching. There are people on here who use 'giveless' rotaries for everything, and enjoy the absence of machine maintenance (other than oiling some moving parts when needed). There are some quality rotaries available from just under $200 to around $350 if you didn't want to start with a large investment - and if you didn't like it, there is always someone to buy it off of you. Just give yourself enough time to adjust to using it before you scrap the idea, and please feel free to start a thread with questions, or pm someone who's work you like that uses a machine you are interested in.
