Minimax fs30g vs Starttrite sd31

[MGMenager]

Hi guys/girls

I am getting bamboozle with searching, reviews, and comparisons. I am determined to reduce the number of hours I work (nothing related to woodworking by the way) and start a small furniture business using the space I have at home. I have a Kitty 1637 that have been "practical" so far, but the rollers are not working properly, the finishing is not great......so I am planning to change it.
Budget is a problem so I was between the minimax fs30g or the startrite sd31. Is it worth the £750 different?
Your views and comments will be appreciated.
Regards
Marcos

Regarding your Kity machine. Have you had a look at adjusting/cleaning the rollers? Cleaning and waxing the tables. Sharpening and setting the knives correctly?

Hi SkinnyB
I clean them a year ago, did not get to remove them, tables are clean before and after each use despite having plenty of scratches from previous (who knows how many) owners. I might need to invest some time in a deep setting up MOT

Hand tools?

Maybe because you operate the on/off switch with your hand........
