He could easly charge as much as the swashdrive as it is made just as well.Of course some people dont want a rotary with give.The give is just right like a well tuned coil machine that has a wide power band. More volts -equals less give to push real big mags or 14 liners -will push anything.Yet you also do soft shading or color packing.

Inked- the 4mm stroke rapier runs realy sweet for heavy linework and building up lines but also works well for everything else.The 3m are great for color and bng and fineline work but can just about push anything.
Thanks slicksteel for the info, i am considering between the rapier and neo tat , but still dunno if i need a machine with "give" . well i been using old school style rotary (without any pully or amature bar like the stealth) with very good results, i never know rotaries runs so consistant, powerful and packs in colors easily and also real silent. almost cant hear anything. so after donkey years of coil machine, i am in search a good rotary to invest in, but I'm actually leaning towards the rapier as u mention the the builder is a tattooer and good customer service, i might just jump in the bandwagon sooner then expected
