6 heads machine or 8 heads machine

you are looking at 2 machines that are very close together in production. if you were looking at 6 or 12 head then there might be more room to give you difference in scenarios.

In your case, since you are so close in capacity and cost, I would opt to the 8 head. Assuming you are planning to keep 6 heads at capacity already, the 8 head gives you some room to grow.

Honestly speaking there might be a huge difference between a 6 and 8 head machine.I t all depends on the specs of each machine.

Check
1) The dimensions of the machine
2) The Pantograph size
3) Number of needles/colours
3) Make of the machine.

If there is not much difference between both , then i would encourage you to buy a 8 head machine as it would definately give you more production and save you valuable time.
