Hi Everybody,
Am reasonably new to the forum, have spent a lot of time reading the various threads on here, lots of great info. I am just about to start up again after a few years layoff due to working abroad so am checking out advances in equipment, substrates etc.
Could the experts please advise whether you think the 2028 is any better than the 2217, they are both about the same performance. I had a smaller Classic some years ago and it was absolutely faultless, almost silent, simple and with effective isolation valves etc., I guess the only minor drawbacks were slight inconvenience of changing the media being a single chamber and also getting it syphoning again (sometimes) after maintenance. The 2028 has all the bells and whistles and looks good, has separate media trays, self primer etc, but is it really that much better (if at all). It's not the additional cost so much I'm concerned about, but sometimes extra "technology" means more to go wromg. I am trying to decide whether to stick to the tried and tested Classic that I know or update myself with the latest equipment.
Many thanks
Stuart
