I'm wondering how that Bolido stacks up against the Neu 2215 then. I would rather stick to Neu since its in the US and makes it easy for service.

That's what I tell everyone now, to stick with Neu because of their location and great record on repair time. If Lehner and Plettenberg can come up with a solution to open an office in the US, make the prices more attractive, then we can add more option for 5th scale. I would go with a Neu.
