    I would suggest saving a few more bux and choosing among the 6-pt versions of these machines.

    Gamma quality is good, spare/upgrade parts are not hard to get. Haven't had any problems with mine so far.

    agree. you don't need a fixed clamp, or a fancy tensioner, but 6 pt makes a huge difference.

    My first machine ever was a 2-pt, regretted it once I learned and was stringing for others. If I had a chance to go back I'd get a 6-pt right off the bat.

    Go for a 6 point. IMO with a well adjusted 6-point is hardly possible to break or damage a racket. A 2-point machine is a bit cheaper, but at the beginning you will be slow and make mistakes during stringing, that's alot of stress for your racket without shoulder supports. Average high to high tension is really risky to impossible with a 2 point.

    Order it online, ship to the nearest Walmart in the US, go there and pick it up, declare it and pay GST/PST at the border.
