The fumeo can take a larger reel than the beaulieu just, its a close run thing. Side by side for looks you probably chose the beaulieu, but would you use the recording facilities that you would pay for, you don't here of many recording with it even the stereo version, the elmo gs beats it hands down even with its over complicated fly wheel setup, without the wow that the elmo has ?. So your left with a replay projector, you can get the soundheads for both at around the same price. The fumeo 9119 I have is only a replay machine, but as said they were custom made to customer requirements, but again I have not heard of any one who has successfully recorded with one. I have never had the problem of lower loop former problem on mine, but I don't doubt it happens, and the reel take up problem is a spring loading tensioner that's difficult to know where it should be at any one time, and again I have not experienced this. They are both a bit cloncky with one function switch, both difficult/fiddly in my opinion to un lace, but not impossible. Very good sound on the beaulieu when right, and good on the fumeo but they do suffer with low sound problems, but can be fixed. This is just my observations Clive, I hope they are of some help to you, but your money that your spending, I thought that CHC had a fumeo or were expecting one, perhaps you could ask them .....
