    I've got a TR60, a TX700 (everyday use) and a TX1200. Why is rubi not top of the list? Oh and a big clinker for back up.

    I keep looking around for a cheap second hand one so I can see what all the fuss is about. You never know I could be converted! It happened with my adhesives!

    Originally a Rubi girl, then found Montolits were great for mosaics and got a 43. I found I got on better with snapping large tiles on a Montolit and got myself a 63 and sold the Rubi.
