At one time I would have said this series was the best built tabletop on the market. Three incarnations later this design is way past its prime. We need a completely new tabletop with speed and a touch screen. Ricoh is blowing it on A4. They took a hard line stance against A4 machines a few years back and now its biting them in the bottom. Ricoh is our main line but we are selling another manufacturers A4 probably 3 to 1 because Ricoh's product has fallen behind.

Thanks Printfun, and let me clarify my remarks . My company (and the company I worked for before that) uses OMD. I do not use e-Automate. However, from speaking with several other vendors, I like what I have heard and seen of e-Automate. I do not know anything about the pricing details, so I can't compare that portion.
