We have 2 Lightning machines (30 spindle). They have been great. Only a couple minor issues in the 3 years we've had them. No troubles with feeders, either. The "Golds" work great and we have had a 3 or 4 with troubles but that is out of 200+ fee

We have two, about 2.5 years old and 1.5 years old. We run all kinds of parts and get about 18K to 20K CPH. The pick accuracy is fantastic so have saved a lot of $$$$ by not having dump buckets full of parts at the end of runs. I could not be happier
