It seems that the Simagic M10 has matured enough to be a strong competitor to the Accuforce V2, and the price (in the U.S. at least) is identical or nearly so. Both use similar "hybrid" stepper motors. A few of the more obvious pros and cons include the following (for base and optional wheel):
Accuforce Pros: Stronger max power (13 nm), mature hardware and powerful software with likely greater game compatibility.
Accuforce Cons: Loud-ish fan, arguably less elegant hardware construction and apparently lower quality wheel construction, software can be overwhelming or confusing.
Simagic Pros: Slightly less expensive base, arguably more elegant engineering over-all, distinctly higher quality wheel, no fan.
Simagic Cons: Lower max power (10 nm), simplistic and limited software controls, there have been some glitches reported early on (all good now?), perhaps lower compatibility with certain games.
Price being equal (again, at least in the U.S.), what are people's feelings about which to choose?
