    I know i'd know the difference between a 3.5mm and 5mm stroke machine. I have an adjustable direct drive machine and at it's longest stroke (5mm) i find it very difficult to tattoo with smoothly but when i adjust it to around 3.5mm stroke i find it tattoos much better. I can see how someone wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 3.2mm and say 3.8mm stroke with just the naked eye and feel. But a 1.5mm difference is a lot.

    3.5 for me, it does everything and has enough punch for Rhino skin

    3.8 would be so nice because you have the 3.5 abilities plus that little bit extra for lining. I'm super excited about the MR03

    The length of the stroke might ultimately be dictated by the machine, the same stroke length on a different machine sometimes has a different feel. I think somewhere upward of of 3.5 would be ideal for an all-arounder though, and 3.8 sounds like an excellent starting point! Looking forward to the machine.

    P.S. The Pussy Juice got me and my client through my single longest session ever - 11 hrs! About 10:25 hrs of actual tatooing. He only needed it for the last couple few hrs but it really got him through. Thanks again!
