Can't help you directly, but we have an Morgana autocreaser and a Morgana folder. Both have been used every day in a busy factory for years now with only minor repairs and servicing required. In fact the only repairs ever necessary on the autocreaser have been the little joystick controller thing has worn out several times (which probably shows how much we use it), but that's cheap enough to replace. We used to have a lot of Duplo finishing kit and had mixed experience with that. The last thing with a Duplo badge on it left our factory earlier this year.
 
We have the digifold 5000p and it must have been a Friday afternoon machine as it's been a total loss, 10 months later they have agreed to swap it out in January. This is the second machine we have had from them that has also been put together incorrectly at the factory so make sure you get a warranty, had a digifold, autocraser and a booklet master previously and apart from the same fault with all Morgana machines in that they do not like the slightest bit of curl on the front edge of the sheet, they were brilliant.
 
We also run a Digifold 5000P. We seem to get a bit of variance on the position of the crease/fold. The folder runs fast but the feeder can be a bit finicky at times. Also, the paper fence included with the machine has a rough machined surface directly in contact with the paper so the sheets off the toner based press seem to get chipped up on the operator edge just a bit as the air bounces them around in the feeder. Overall, the morgana seems to be a well built machine and has been a workhorse for us. Pretty easy to set up and little waste. That said, I don't think it's the perfect solution (especially for the price). Maybe the Digifold Pro is improved in these areas?

Thanks for the input.
We have a morgana creaser and have been happy with its performance, do like the top feeding but the guides on feeding end are week in design in my opinion, do like the feeding of the CF375 even though is not top feeding. Can someone tell me about the software comparison!
