We are a small business that is looking at upgrading our system below to improve cut quality and to do some outside cutting: Pictures attached of current system.

Most of our cut work is from 16Ga to 1.00" mild steel. 16Ga to 1/4" stainless.

Advise regarding:

1. Power source - HPR 130 VS HPR 130XD ?
2. Controller - (Burny 10 / Phantom II ) or other ?
3. THC - Commander VS Arcglide or other ?
4. Gas / air control ?
5. Chiller ( can I use my current chiller ?)
6. Can we use the current drive motors ?
7. Budget for this type upgrade ?

Any advise will be appreciated.
