<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedForeman, post: 7380691, member: 59766&quot;]A year and a half ago, the S-700 was $900 more than the S-600. On a more recent purchase, I didn&#039;t get the 600 quoted.</p><p><br /></p><p>My experience is both Carrier and TK get the job done. Carrier breaks down somewhat more often, but repairs usually cost less. Breakdowns == downtime and product risk, so that&#039;s been the main reason I buy TK units.</p><p><br /></p><p>The TK service network has been better for me as a rule. As-in with Carrier, you learn quickly there are good and not so good dealers. I haven&#039;t found a bad TK dealer. Then again, I haven&#039;t needed them as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Something you should be aware of the S-series units. The unlimited Cali compliance has a hidden cost. The 3,000 hr PM includes removing/replacing the EGR cooler and cleaning it. Suddenly the $150 PM service is now almost $800. In my operation 3k hrs is about a year. I&#039;ll recover that add&#039;l cost on the resale, as I will trade out at 5 yrs. Do it yourselfers might have an issue with it. Just putting it out there. If you don&#039;t care about Cali compliance and plan to keep it till the wheels fall off (and eventually sell to someone who does need to register with CARB), you might be better off with a C-series unit if you go with TK.</p><p><br /></p><p>Something you should consider is value over cost. If you&#039;re buying a fleet of 100 units, the math favors a cheaper product. If you&#039;re buying one you&#039;re gonna run exclusively and live with for a long time, don&#039;t get so wrapped up about the purchase price. Get the one that will bring you better service and less risk over it&#039;s lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
