So,.... driving through Tioga, ND today.... saw a machine that looked new in a Vantage frame.... had stickers something like D 450.... or something? Any news / intel on any new machines coming out? Considering getting a new machine as mine's getting some hours on it now.... anyone? DL

It is a vantage but worked over by Red-d-Arc. I don't know how much they change besides new stickers. The one I used was exactly like a 400 vantage
