Need help choosing a new plasma cutter.
Hello all, I am needing help in deciding on a plasma table for our business. Our budget is 15 to 30k. We are mostly cutting 16 gauge and .25 inch though occasionally up to half inch. All steel. We were doing all parts by hand, then we happened upon an esab crossbow that we got up and running, figured out how to use cad to design for it and now we currently do everything on this table. It is however very slow! 120 ipm max! It also doesn't cut the 16 gauge very well, and about 75 percent of our needs are 16 gauge. If anyone has any suggestions, or could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. There are so many manufacturers out there and near impossible for beginners like us to know where to start. We've come a long way from knowing nothing... We are ready to take the next step here. Much thanks!

I should also add that the largest sheets we use are 5 x 10

The new SuperB tables are pretty badass.
