My product sizes are small: 0.2-1.5 oz (6 square inches but we use polycarbonate with glass for fire retardancy).

Originally was dreaming about using one of the Boy xxs/xs 11 ton desktop machines but shot sizes only go to 0.33 oz/18mm screw. Currently looking at 22A or 55A hydraulic Boy machine or Arburg 320 allarounder. Does anyone have experience with either machine? The Boy controllers (Procan and alpha) both look user friendly. Arburgs looks a bit confusing. The diptronic style even looks more confusing.

What about reliability? I see alot of these machines being sold from 1960s-1980s. Not easy to find 2005+. Some of the 1980s stuff going for dirt cheap, $1000, I'm assuming because of lack of parts.
