After 2 or 3 years I felt the urge to get a smaller machine so bought the shinemate eb210 kit. It’s a great addition and extremely versatile.

Neither kit I would consider high end but I think they will last me many years and work really well.
I suspect Rupes would give you a more premium feel but they will cost nearly twice as much.
The ShineMates are easily the best of the mid-range machines. The Rupes (and Flex) tax is very real, and while I have a couple, they are not twice as good. While I love my iBrid Nano, its way overpriced for what it is.
