So, are we going to get reviews from the CG road trip sometime soon? I'll soon be purchasing my first set-up. Originally, I was thinking entry-level machine, but as I read more, I decided to up the ante a little. Now, the main contenders are CC1 vs. Quickmill Silvano. I'm probably leaning toward the CC1 since the deal with a grinder (Vario Preciso) at SCG puts the effetive price at $400 less than the Silvano.

I expect you've had time for some evaluation. What's the verdict?

I am curious, how does the "road trip" work?

My understanding is they send the machine to one expert to use for a while and pass on to another one. I have no idea what happens to the machine when they are done with it but after all have used it they are going to write a review.

Lmao, I swore there where things I would never say to my kids but I have said this one a zillion times.

Seriously though this review has become more like a government study of the correct torque of a light bulb, 6 months plus and counting and probably more money in shipping then the machine actually costs.

Hopefully the CC1 will not be obsolete by the time the reviews come in... lol.
