Fc-5100 and contour cutting

[Derf]

I have an opportunity to buy a Graphtec FC-5100-100 for $1600 with no contour cutting attachment. or I want to buy a new FC-7000-100 with the contour cutting attachment for $3400 new!

is it easy to add the contour cutting attachment or am I better off just getting the new cutter. Is there a lot ($1,900) of diffreance between the 5100 and the 7000

Thanks for the input

The ARMS sensor upgrade is around $500 the last time I checked.....

$800.
Machine needs to go to Graphtec for the addition.
Consider the warranty, too.
Advantage: 7000.

Thanks... I got off the phone with Graphtec and the dealer need to send it in and it is $800 + Shipping

so I think I'll get the new one.
