XPR300 vs. HPR400XD

[Port Mo]

We are looking at getting a new plasma unit for the shop, and I'm trying to compare the XPR300 vs. HPR400XD. I would like to know if one unit is superior to the other. We cut mild steel mostly from 1/8" to 2", and run the table about 5 hours a day 5 days a week. I haven't seen a good comparison of the two units other than the XPR is newer and 66.5kW vs the older HPR 80kW.

I know very little about the high def plasma units but I believe the XPR is the latest and greatest from Hypertherm, the HPR has been around a while. it doesn't look like the XPR is available over 300 amps yet so that is likely the limiting factor. I would contact Hypertherm and ask but if the XPR will cut what you need the latest from HT can;t be a bad thing.
