I’ve posted about this here before to other info. I appreciate all the info yall gave me before. We are about to make a decision and I wanted to pick your brains one more time.

If you were to choose between the VIP 6 AI and the Leica Pegasus, which one and why?

I’m personally leaning more towards the VIP because of its reputation for reliability and longevity.

I like the idea of the dual retort system in the Pegasus but I don’t like that the model has been around for only 5 years, the first two of which involved significant issues with the rotary valves.

Thoughts?

I’ve been tasked with gathering quotes and information on a new processor and wanted to get the general opinion on the options. We need a 220+ capacity for a 9 hour process. We currently have an end-of-life excelsior ES that has frequent issues.

What are your thoughts on new vs refurbished?

The models I’ve gotten quotes for include the Donatello 3, Peloris 2, VIP 6 AI, other refurbished VIP models, and the Excelsior ES.
