Default 24" cutters for heat transfers

Wanting to buy a new 24" cutter with an optical "registration" eye for cutting heat transfers. Have done my research [including searching this forum] and confusion is starting to set in.

Questions:

- for those who use a Roland GX24, in your opinion does it lack anything ?
- does anyone have any experience with the Mimaki CG-60-SR cutter ? If so, what are your opinions of this cutter ?
- does the Copam C2500 have an optical eye for reading registration marks so that it can be used for cutting heat transfers [find conflicting info on this]?
- any recommendations for which 24" Graphtec would be suitable for cutting heat transfers ?

Also worth considering buying is a Summa D60 SE wich also has an optical positioning system for reading registration marks. It's a real workhorse that will cut yard after yard after yard without any problems, and it's the most user friendliest cutter I know of myself

We have a Graphtec CE5000-60 and it's great for cutting transfers.

It's a very easy to use plotter that works with Graphtec's software, Illustrator, or CorelDRAW.

We've only tried once, but the only thing it won't work with so far is twill. Of course, we may have just needed to use more downforce...

We're VERY happy with this cutter, and its pricetag ($500 less than the Roland when you count the price of a stand).
