Looking for new gas dryer

Looking to upgrade my existing Workhorse 2608Q dryer to a propane dryer and larger what I currently have. What things do I need to look for and what size do I need to keep up with 600 sph?

What? Not a Printex?

So what should I look for in this Interchange dryer? All you gave is a brand and nothing about features to look for.

Anyone else have suggestions? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post public.

I have narrowed our search for a new dryer down to m&r and interchange. They seem to be the best options out there and there really isn't a legitimate 3rd contender from what I've gathered. Other press manufacturers have dryers but they seem to be very weak attempts to compete with m&r and interchange. If you want my somewhat educated opinion, if you are buying new, I wouldn't look at anything else but m&r and interchange.

Now if you want to talk used, I can attest to the absolute badassness of the American Texair, gas/radiant panel combos, late 80's early 90's models. I don't know that much about the newer models however, but our Texair is a beast. Depending on our finances when we pull the trigger on a dryer, we may get a used Texair for a steal somewhere. They go for super cheap and they will outperform most newer dryers for a fraction of the cost. The only drawback to buying an older dryer is the efficiency and the radiant heat they produce. They will make your shop very hot.
