String machine Recommendation

[abcxyz]

Hi Guys,

I've been stringing on and off for about 10 years now. I just sold my Klippermate and now I'm looking for a new machine. Now I'm looking for a new string machine and need help on deciding since there's so many. I've been looking at either the Silenter Partner Swing or Hip Hop vs the Eagnas Hawk 26 or Eagnas Hyper 60.

Both companies make similar machines, but Silent Partner uses the Cam String Gripper while Eagnas used the Linear ball bearing string gripper. can someone tell me which is better? I Eagnas string gripper looks interesting, but I don't know how well it performs.

Here are my choices:
Floating Clamps: Eagnas Hawk 26 or Silent Partner Swing
Fixed Clamps: Eagnas Hyper 60 or Silent Partner Hip Hop

I'm also looking at other Eagnas machines with fixed clamps, but I don't know what the difference are because they are all so similar (Eagnas GCII, Eagnas Hawk 80)

Any advise would be much appreciated.

ix nay on the Eagnas, HIP HOP a better choice.
But do some research into other machines like GAMMA, and ALPHA.
All depends on your spending budget.
