Buying a New replacement OCT
Looking for some quick feedback on buying an OCT. I have three quotes on the table:
Topcon Maestro2 (new) – $43,000 (Windows 11 & 1-year warranty)
Zeiss Cirrus 5000 (Used)– $38,000 (Windows 10, no warranty)
Optovue iVUE 80 (new)– $32,000 (Windows 10, 2 year warranty)
Is it bad logic to pay a premium for the Maestro2 just for the Windows 11 peace of mind and the ease of use?
Or is the Cirrus 5000 a much better clinical investment, even if I have to pay out-of-pocket for a Zeiss PC workstation upgrade down the road?
What would you do? Are these prices fair for the current market?
