Hp365 vs Traffic jet

[TOsignshop]

Hi All

Im new here and this is my first post. Not even sure this is the correct area to post this question. I work at a Sign Shop and we do a lot of Wide Format printing. we currently have the mutoh value jet. we do a lot of reflective signs so we're looking at purchasing another printer. Ive narrowed it down to the hp365 vs the traffic jet. has anyone here has experience with any of these two? why is one double the price of the other? any info of first hand experience with these two would be much appreciated.
