    Trying to decide between Yoder Y640 & Rec Tec

    That pretty much helped me decide, the rec tec sounds like its really a 3 year warranty with the added cost after 3 yrs. Think its yoder 640 for me after watching the serious competition folks using yoder on youtube think ill spend the extra and go yoder. Im sure both are good, its like my gas...
