HS-1800 v LS-1100 general reliability

[foolsgoldfilm]

hello 

We are a new lab and running HS-1800 which we are very happy with .  But we need an extra for busy periods, and back-up

So, we are looking at 1100 to join the team (we know it won't do 120 of course).  

BUT... Someone in a lab in our area mentioned they've found the 600 / 1100 very unreliable compared to 1800.  Said they would not recommend . 

Is this a common complaint ?  

In terms of the smaller footprint in the lab, and smaller price-point we do like the look of the 1100 .  Perhaps they were just unlucky 

Thanks for any feedback!

I hope you know that we not only sell minilabs and scanners but also offer LED restoration services for all Noritsu film scanners.
Based on our experience, the LS-600 LEDs are less reliable. FYI.
All the rest are equally reliable.
