Both M&R's are good.
Get at least 6 colors. 8 if you can afford it
Printing more than 5 or 6 colors manually doing large (300 or more units) orders, especially on black tees with flashing will kill you eventually.
You MUST have a rotating table- at least 4 pallets.

does either of the M&R come with Rotary Platen?

if printing more than 6 colors is not beneficial then my best would be to go with the sidewinder?

Both come with rotary plattens. The sidewinder is excellent. I said go with 8 colors, because you will always need/want more colors available for 2 job set-ups, front and back designs, etc. Having more colors adds to flexibility. I had been working with a 4 color manual for years, but I suffered.
Just got a 7 color automatic, and I already need 3 more heads.

thanks for the answers! got one more question.

So, i think i would be better of with the Chameleon. If i am to get a 6/6 press should i get all heads down or would getting 4 heads down work well also?

I have a 6/6 chameleon and it is amazing. i love it.

I would say go with a 6/6, over a 4/6 {If they make one?}

You can always throw on the expanded heads to turn a 6/6 into a 10/6 too!

Solid press, very tight reg, just ask some buddys to help put it into place. It weighs about 1200lbs!
