I would not sell the 5100 or 7140 without a Tameran stacker or finisher of some sort attached too it.
Last year I sold a 7140 (the 14 D per minute) to a busy contracting office. First one I ever did. Delivered the machine with Ricoh's standard output attachments. I found out real quick that in the real world the Ricoh output attachments are useless. The combination of the machine being so fast and multiple users sending various size prints to the machine before previous jobs were removed leads to a giant mess and a frustrated customer. The machine by itself just can't handle it without being baby-sat.
Long story short within a month of delivering the machine the customer was frustrated and our solution was the Tamaran Stacker. All output problems with the machine were instantly solved. It works without problem with any size print and even with mixed size sets. Can't say enough good about it. Don't have any experience with the folding unit but my experience with their stacker has been very positive.
