Hi,

Generally the Speedmaster 72 is the better machine as it has more possibilities in regard to what it can run. The rolling power of the 2 presses will be the same but because the SORMZ`s units are a mirror image the user friendlyness can be an issue in regard to plating up or setting the ducts if they are manual machines.
Obviously the footprint of the 2 machines are different the 72 being bigger and at least the feeder and delivery on the 72 can run 1 for 1.
The perfecting unit as long as they have been maintained correctly should be fine, just give any machine a thorough looking at and testing before a purchase.

Regards.

Stick with the 72 the S-Line series is prone to "delivery streaking".

I hated S lines, was always ripping shirts and almost strangling myself when jumping down from the 1st unit
