Have you heard of this machine?

Antec used to make a manual Tracer but it wouldn't be new, it's been out of production for about 15 years. All in all though it's a good machine. If you can find one for a good price I would recommend it for start up. The later models with cast aluminum heads are much better.

M&R Chameleon is bullet proof if you're looking for a manual. Never heard of a Tracer. I've seen some manual presses that I thought would tip over and were super wobbly. The Chameleon is solid.

i bought a 6/6 tracer for 1800$ and it is aluminum and is pretty solid. just that i still need to buy the boards and install them. once i do that it's on!
