What power wrapper

I'm considering getting a new power wrapper and have been researching them as extensively as I can because obviously they're not cheap. So........ if you were to buy one tomorrow, which one would you buy, and why?

RBS Pro G2. I went with it because I felt like it had more bang for buck. I also prefer the stands over other brands (I bought the kit). The only other option I considered was the Alps. That said, If money were no object, I’d have likely gone with the Renzetti, but it cost around $1500 -$1600. That system is built like a brick outhouse, but out of my budget.

I had a Pac Bay and found the chuck to be totally unreliable. I now have the Alps and never regretted it. I highly recommend it.

I like my Custom Power Wrapper, it has a direct drive drier and wrapper on the same rail side by side, but they are separate, so I don't lose the use of either while the other is operating. The it's actually a TAIG mini lathe chuck and head stock that I could get parts for if I ever needed them, but never have had to in 30+ years.
