Just an open-ended discussion. Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated. Coltri MCH22 and Bauer IK12.14 have very similar CFM and a similar price point (Bauer $5000 more but also has a lot more features). Feel free to discuss designs, longevity, and reliability.

However, MCH22 has a much larger block and a true four-stage design, rather than the double-acting second stage on an IK12.14. MCH22 also has a much lower RPM.

I found that Bauer built better than Coltri. But I only have experience with smaller Coltri, like the MCH16 and MCH6. Never had experience with the big MCH22, 30, and 36 units.

Just talk about anything. I would like to hear more about the differences. I am not making a purchasing decision since I already have the IK12.14 and I am very happy about it.
