I would jump to the 1100 as a minimum because at least its robotic and programmes and coding systems are interchangeable with the Leica1200
I have recently seen a reconditioned Leica 1100 for less than ?1500....I was told a few years back that the high-price of 2nd hand Leica equipment was due to a big demand from eastern european countries unable to afford the prices of new Leica equipment. That might have been the case, but we bought 3 reconditioned 1100 machines (minus batteries) from a Danish company 2 years back that cost us less than ?3000 all in (OK fair enough we didn't have to pay the VAT equivalant so maybe add 20% to find the 'true' cost)....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
