Obviously! But sometimes cost is a deciding factor and also availability space. Yes, a DSG is a superb machine BUT now way as versatile as a Colchester/Harrison. The lack of rigidity/quality of the latter is more than made up for by their capacities/footprint size - a major consideration for many of us.

Cheers Carl.
