What is the Savin Pro C5100s?

[crossroads]

Hi, I had been discussing leasing a KM C6000 from a dealer for our digital print work. We are expecting to print about 15k-20K per month color. Salesperson now suggests Savin Pro C5100s as newer alternative. On the surface they have similar specs. The ricoh/savin machine is newer model and costs just a bit less. Does anyone have experience with it? I am not completely sure it is a production machine. I can see the prints when i go for the demo, but can expect it to hold up to the workload? All input is welcome.

Thank you

This is one of the newest device Ricoh has just released.

I have a couple of the office versions out in the field at the moment, still too early to tell, they seem to be reliable but they have only been out there for 6 weeks so what do you expect...
