9.) Dan Kubins and Halo they do what they are supposed to do consistently
10.) 2 or 3
11.) I am comfortable around the 400 range for a good machine
12.) Lack of versatility with some rotaries. The weight of some relay

17.) Love em, can't be bothered with cartridges after trying them
18.) I probally wouldnt buy one I like having more than one machine, If I did get an adjustable one I would set it up for a specific task and use it for that. Adjusting on the fly isn't something Im interested in. I Like my machines to do what they are set up to do. Pick it up and not have to worry about adjusting it.
