RYOBI 524 HE vs HEIDELBERG GTO 52-4

Hi guys,

i have Heidelberg QM DI printing press and have plans to buy another 4-color press and doubt between second-hand Ryobi 524HE or Heidelberg GTO52-4.
Can someone of you who had expirience in working on both of those press share something about it. What is about makeready, changing format, plate mounting, cleaning printing cilinders, printing stability, dampening... need for service... ???
I never work on any of those presses and looking for your object opinion.
Thenks in advance.

The GTO is a bit slow these days compared to say an SM 52, but they are very reliable as they have been going for 30 odd years.
The SM 52 is a much more complete package, with all the automation.
Sorry don't have much information on the Ryobi, but can find out.

Regards.
