Best 6-point mounting machine for less than $400

I'm interested in stringing my own racquets. I will string maybe 4 racquets a month. I've been reading posts about eagnas bad reputation. But their flex 740 looks good for $219. What other machines can be comparable for a good price?

Unless they have upgraded the Hawk 80 with a ratcheted gripper, I wouldn't purchase it. I have one and added a SP electric unit to it 5-6 years ago because I didn't like a drop weight machine, especially one without a ratcheted gripper.

I like the combo 710 the best. http://www.eagnas.com/com710.html#pioneerdc

It comes with spring assisted clamps, and a very solid turn table.
