They are very similar in buiild quality. The VE-80 does have some better features like the touch screen and height/angle adjustment, the grommet flarer (iron) and the fast switch between tennis and badminton, however I would say that both machines produce equal quality string jobs. I much prefer the clamps on the Alpha Ghost than on the VE-80.
Thanks for your answer on my topic. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...base-replacement-for-my-victor-c7032n.170172/ Right now I haven't had the replacement. Just ordered over one month. Poor me.
