Default Should I buy this Heat Press?

Hi all. I'm new here, but have become significantly well educated about T-shirt printing thanks to you guys. I am thinking of going with the JetPro SofStretch OR the Plastisol Transfers for my designs (which I gather are not as good as screenprinting, but it's a start)
I am starting out and considering purchasing this heat press.
X-LARGE HEAT PRESS 60cm x 40cm TRANSFER MACHINE - eBay, Printing Equipment, Business, Industrial. (end time 05-Feb-08 15:28:02 AEDST)

I've looked at all you guys have to say on the subject and it meets most of those specifications (I think. Right? It's definately big. And a clamshell model). But it's not a "brand name". I wrote to the guy selling the thing asking about the brand and he responded, "it made of us".

I'm just a dumb newbie , so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing that I would question about this press from the pictures (which means I have no clue about the key working items - thermostat, wiring, heating element,...) is how high the heating element opens up. Just from the pictures, it seems a little low. You might want to check this out as it will be much harder to work with the heating element closer to the platen.
