buying a binding machine

[kenjari]

So I'm going to buy a binding machine for preparing nice professional copies of my scores. Unless I buy a ridiculously expensive model, it should pay for itself pretty quickly since I won't have to pay Staples or Copy Cop to do the binding. Plus, I'll be able to make the scores when I need them, one at a time, which will be much more convenient than making time to go to copy places.
This model is the one that I'm thinking of getting. It's well within my budget ($300 or less) and seems to have the features I think I need.
Advice? Opinions?

I don't have very much of a clue, but my general opinion is that it's a good idea. :)

This is the binding machine I have:

It's done me proud for about 4 years now...and I can also set it to punch horizontally-aligned scores.

The one you've chosen looks like it can punch many more sheets at a time -- my machine can only handle about 5 pages of 32-lb. paper at a time.

Yours is the other model I was considering. I'll have to do a closer comparison of the two.

I bought one for R on Ebay (just like that one) for $70! Its the BEST investment!
