Manual P&P experiences

We are looking for a Manual P&P machine. So far we have identified next systems:

XMP-302D � Boir (KAR) LM901,902 � Fritsch SMTPlace 1000 � Manncorp FineLine � Manncorp (DMA) CAT-90SA � Advanced Techniques EXPERT-M,SA � ESSEMTEC

The basic price range (new) is from $4000 to $8000 depending on model (manual or semi). Any good/bad experience with any of them? (or any other not on the list). And in general, are these systems worth their cost? or a basic vacuum pen (around $300) can do their job?
