I was thinking that the Flashforge Dual and Duplicator 4x would have 4 heads or 2x dual heads should 1 screw up making downtime negligible but I also head the MK9 (i think) nozzles solve some issues as well as the weight of the actual printers. Duplicator is made from metal i think and is heavier than the Flashforge dual and also has full enclosure i belive to reduce warping. The Flashforge seems to have a better user base and I'm not sure about anything else but it sounds like this user group has all issues nailed down with resolutions.

I'd be buying the flashforge creator Dual for around £760 inc del from Imakr and the Duplicator 4x for around £850 from 1 of 4 websites I've seen.

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys. Totally excited about being part of this crazy 3D printing world.
The Duplicator 4x does not have 4 nozzles, it is the 4th version of their machine, and as far as I am aware it sports 1 head, where as the Flashforge dual is 2 heads, and a great machine - I'd go with that one, but hey I'm bias.

The specifications are identical practically, so personally go for the dual flashforge, cheaper more bang for buck.
