Hi, Was decided on Starmex but GC IMM sales recommended Hitachi. 1) Mitsubishi StarMex ($3678) 12+2x9 - $3219 1+4 year warranty - $129 Bracket - $150 Upgrade pipe insulation - $180 2) Hitachi ($3418) 12+2x9 - $2989 1+4 year warranty - $99 Bracket - $150 Upgrade pipe insulation - $180 Free rice cooker, iron. Is the starmex price reasonable? is Hitachi even worth a consideration? Please feel free to comment or PM. Thanks!
