Just because they charge over the odds, doesn’t make them better. Their spec is very much the same

Comparing laser machines based on the power/size/speed spec would be like comparing restaurants based on the number of calories you are getting and how quickly you can swallow them

Basically, there are two approaches when buying machines:

1. You get the best you could justify financially and then adapt your production according to the capabilities of the equipment.

2. Or approach this the opposite way - define your exact requirements in terms of acceptable tolerances, cycle time etc. and go from there.

In real production factors such as reliability, potential downtime, fail rate, etc. are often considered more important than the basic spec of the equipment.

As for AEON Ledaero is right. They are not Turkish. The brand is owned by a Chinese manufacturer called Shanghai Pomelo. As far I know they hired a Turkish industrial design consultancy to help them design a line of machines with a more civilized look. Machines that their clients could install in their offices and design studios without feeling ashamed of the appearance Most of the Chines lasers are scarily ugly and rough. Pomelo is not the first to do that. Several years ago Bodor hired a Swiss design consultancy to help them with the aesthetics of their machines. It appears Pomelo are trying to use slightly higher quality components for their AEON line. The construction of the machines is also slightly better than that of the average Chinese machines. But only slightly. Overall, under the hood, they are very similar. If you want to step up in terms of quality and reliability you need to look at the higher class manufacturers, using more advanced technology (servo, RF, controllers/software, etc.) such as GCC, Trotec, Epilog, ULS, Gravograph.
