It's a much better size Andy than a 900 or even 1000. Common tile size now is up to 1200,including a lot of planks. There is so much out there that is bigger than 900 but not 1200 so much.
Personally think 900/1000 is the wrong choice these days. All the DIY sheds and general tile stores all sell ties up to 1200, including Topps.
Don't be put off for the sake of 2-300mm mate.
The only real drawback with the older models is that the bar is a faf to remove. Which makes the handle more difficult to keep clean. At the end of the day tho, if to end cost is right, then a little extra effort to remove the rail may be worth it.
And given that you're a Yorkshireman thro and thro, sounds like the perfect solution for you! haha

Morning,
If you decide to go for a Sigma let me know what size you are looking for, and i will send you over a discounted price if you would like. As forum members will get better rates

 

[Flintstone]

That's a great offer, what sort of discount are you offering, I know they are pricey for the large machines, hense me looking for second hand as it's only gonna come out a few times a year.

Invest in a new one Andy, second hand Sigmas aren't much cheaper anyway as they hold their value well. The new machines with the easy to remove bar are well worth it in the long run and I completely agree with Marc's advice to go for the larger machine, that's a no brainer

at least one 100cm it up.
90cm is not worth.

 

[Flintstone]

yeah I know what your saying

You are going to start using it more and more and to be fair most large format over 1000mm tend to be larger jobs in my experience .
