In my opinion, there is no reason to go with a Haas anymore, unless you are buying a machine with no options (cheap) or you have 15 Haas machines and you want to stay with that control. After using my new Brother for a couple hours, the control excuse went out the window too. I prefer the Brother control to the Haas by a large margin now.
