I reckon he might be getting one, he seemed to be showing a lot of interest a few weeks back. I have rubi cutters but after buying my first sigma they are gathering dust, about 15 years worth.

I have fond memories of using a Sigma for the 1st time after years with Rubi. I had just got a job in Melbourne, Australia and noticed no one used Rubi. I asked around and everyone said Sigma so i thought it best to follow. The 1st day i used it was a learning curve but i have never looked back but as we always say...use what you feel comfortable with
