True flatbed vs hybrid?

[TheProcessIStheproduct]

Looking at a true flatbed and like the table height and pin system and being able to use jigs with many smaller pieces, but it would be nice to be able to run rolls, who has strong opinions for one system over the other?

Stay away from the Mutoh Valujet 1608 Hybrid. Nothing but problems and no support from Mutoh.

I am new to this industry and am using an older Mutoh Tucan Hybrid. I will post how things go as I learn the ropes.

We installed the Fuji Acuity LED1600 a little more than a month ago. It's working out really well with being able to switch between boards and rolls. We're doing mostly rolls, but it will handle up to 1/2" thick boards. Takes about 5 minutes to switch between rigid and rolls.
