We just bought an Advantis w/flexjet head. Great machine. No problems with anything and Universal support is excellent as always. Prec-Pro dual lane feeders are the way to go. Also, I recommend buying the NPI module. This software allows you to make program checks/changes when you start and update component packages on the fly. NPI is very nice for low-volume/high-mix stuff. If you are running high volume all the time, the expense might not be what you need to spend money on. You really need to look at speed, though. 30,000 CPH will require some additional equipment for sure if you go with flexjet. Lightning head will get closer but I'm not familiar with rates achievable on a lightning and the limitations related to your package sizes.
