Questions about Melco AMAYA XT

Im surprised that you say their quality is poor, I saw one working at DAX and was impressed. They were out of our price range... we started looking at the Meistergram machine, but the deal ended up falling through. Actually that was a blessing in disguise now with the changes they have gone through. We now have this oppertunity, and if the last couple details pan out, we will most likely be purchasing.
Update on the facts, is that it is just over a year old, used under a year (due to the repo) and we can get it for less than half teh cost of the new XT, with everything included!

My question is do I really need two days training?? Or with my experience in the business, could I get what I needed out of ONE day?? We are just looking at keeping the cost down, picking it up to avoid shipping cost... ect. Any comments of ppl who have or do use tha AMAYA machines??

Thanks!

Well its a done deal! My boss signed teh dotted line yesterday and we are now going to be the proud (er, I hope) owners of a AMAYA XT. We will go and pick it up next week and get teh training... Im still not sure what to think, so many mixed reveiws an dI just think it was/is one of those to good to be true deals??? IDK< not my chioce, I just run the damn machine! Wish me luck and I will keep you posted once we actually have it.

I just thought of something earlier as I was working ona project this morning.
Will I have to redigitize ALL my current stuff??
Or will I be able to convert my DAT files to DST (I asume the AMAYA will use DST)
I can create DST files within my current softeware, as in teh past I have outsourced a few projects and had to open my stitchfile and re-save it in the new format.

This will actually be a good way for me to weed out, some of the things I haven't used in forever. However, everything is also on DISK!! Does the AMAYA just feed directly form the computer, use a flash or what???

Thanks!

Laurie :)
