Makerbot Replicator 2 Vs. 2X

Thanks Mystery Sounds like you do get a lot more for the 2X. I'll probably settle for the 2 though, as I am still a beginner. Why is it so important to be able to use a wider variety of plastic? What would be your main concern with only being able to use PLA plastic?

Well, to be honest, there isn't a legitamate reason behind those thoughts. Personally I just think that having a wider variety of choice in a situation is always good. Plus, if you look hard enough and find the right sites, you can find some really cool types of ABS plastic. Some glow in the dark, and others that change color depending on temperature.
