Post by: slimjim on February 12, 2014, 07:31:32 PM: I'm sorry, I misread your question, I thought you were asking about the Ultimizer, Good catch, the optimizer was first built I believe it was 2008

Post by: Sloppy_Snood on February 12, 2014, 07:37:15 PM: Thank you for the clarification slimjim.

I am on the fence (sort of) between the mid-size Ultimizer BL-3444 and the Optimizer 250 (Indiana intended state of use).
