[Oradlist] Panmeca vs Vatech

[Allan G Farman]

Undoubtedly J. Morita has very excellent products... however the yen is valued particularly high at the moment against other currencies. You should firts determine the specifications that are needed for your practice including minimum spatial resolution, and minimum field of view, then broaden your comparisons but still include the two you listed. There is no ideal CBCT system for everyone so specifications and budget are critical factors in making your business decision. Local service is also critical.

Best of luck in your endeavor.

The Morita F170 is the best in class in my view.

Dear Oradlisters,
I am not assured that I ask a correct question, but to me the opinion of professionals outside of Russia is very important.
I face to a choice of two absolutely different manufacturers.
Picasso Pax-Reve 3D or Planmeca Promax Max 3D plus Planmeca Proline XC.
These are new models, but there can be you heard about them. Also could not communicate to manufacturers directly.
Unfortunately I did not manage to visit exhibition IDS this year. I am compelled to use the information given by local dealers.
I know very well all pluses and minuses of Planmeca company. We co-operate already almost two years. It were difficult two years and not all in our relations was smooth. About company Vatech I hear only positive responses in Russia. It is very strange. So does not happen.
Picasso Pax-Reve 3D it is updated model Picasso Trio. All technical characteristics which I have found in the Internet, have read in the advertising brochure and have received from the dealer differ from each other. I hear very inconsistent responses about company Vatech and it very much confuses me. But their prices have made indelible impression upon founders.
I will be very grateful if you can write pair of words about it.
