Curious, if you strip down what you are telling existing RV4 owners, i.e You cannot or do not really want to support (all of?) them any more, what kind of support are you offering on this one? Also, what feeders?

We have used Alpha Cookson for mesh stencils in the past price was fixed, not dependent on apertures.
We now use Tecan foils on a Genesis self tensioning frame, after the initial outlay these are almost 1/2 the money of the Alpha mesh. (~£140+handling )
I can say there is a noticeable difference between using a std laser cut stainless stencil and Tecan special surface that aids the rolling action of the paste.
Freebie or "elemental" stencils that come with prototype pcb's are OK for one or 2 boards but frankly a total waste of space unless you have some way of putting them under tension. If I had a machine with a paste dispensing option I think I'd probably throw them in the bin.
