also consider tralucent 1+2 and tralucent Ref.1. I have had the 1+2 (with the gold cable) and must say, they where a bit more "airy" sounding, more dinamic, clear, at least so much details. The bass was perhaps better controlled. A pitty they broke twice. I'still waiting for a replacement.... Overal the listening experience with the 1+2 was overwhelmig.The Shure SE846 are very solid performer and listening with them is also addicting. The tralucent ref. 1 is the "upgrade" of the 1+2. There ist also a "uber-cable" (solid core) for the 1+2 and Ref. 1 (costs over 1000$). With this cable both would sound better... also consider tralucent 1+2 and tralucent Ref.1.

I bought the Aria because of the timer, which I love, and three speed settings. I'm sure the Mia 2 is great, but I don't have experience with it.

I am not really familiar with the cheaper model. I can say that the unit that I have works very well. It is very accurate and dependable and I highly recommend it.

I can't tell you what the differences are as I am not acquainted with those models. However I love the one I have. It has plenty of power and is very user friendly. Switches easily for different cleaning needs. I have no regrets with this vacuum.

They are both great machines. I have both of them, but for shaping and trimming mustash, side burns, gotees, behind the ears etc; my preference is the outliner II, because of the narrow edges of the blades.

It is a Stentor II. Google it and you will see it is the same. My son is using this for his first year in orchestra at school and it sounds good with decent craftsmanship.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

I don't know of any other difference. Mine does not have the built in oil tank. I can see where that is an advantage. I have to stop and oil the chain every 30 minutes or so. But as far as any other differences I don't have any experience with the type 2.

I've not tried both, but I have to say that the Volpi was a really good buy. It's not a Parma or a Serrano, but it's a third of the price and, for everyday use, it is really pretty good

This one has a bigger motor and higher rpm, it is slightly heavier and has a slightly larger capacity, it would be consider more heavy duty then the nina which is smaller, lighter, and more portable. IMO this one is a better buy for the money. Mine works great!

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.

I own the F1 and am absolutely pleased with it. The knife is very sharp and has consistently stayed that way. The only thing I dlnt like about it, is that it is so light that you cant chop with it. I do a lot of bushcraft work so this kind of a downside. Now on that note the S1 is a little bit heavier and longer, so it might be better at chopping. But I dont have any personal experience with the S1. But I believe no matter which you get, both will serve you well. Now as far as a sheath goes that depends on what you want. The zytel is nice in the fact that its maintenance free. But the blade isnt a snug fit so it rattles a little bit. The leather obviously wouldnt have the rattling problem. But leather needs to be cared for. Hope that helped you decide. Good luck. Both will serve you well.

I've had 2 Mini Pro 2s and both were excellent. The first died after 12+ years of hard use...I like a deep, strenuous message on my shoulders, neck and thighs. The second is just as strong and I look forward to more years of de-knotting. Don't know about the other Thumper models.Chose this because it looked to be the most powerful.

Sorry, am only familiar with the one we own and which we like we like very much. Not familiar with the other model so can't offer a comparison.

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.
