One Question please:
What is more durable, alpha series or x series (no duty cycle, I say in general)
Thanks again.

The Alpha is capable of running for 5mins (recommended) time and 60 seconds shut off to cool down. Whereas the X-series has a duty cycle of about 90-120 seconds before it gets hot :)

Thanks Timelord, (good nick, we are the time we got) ;) one ultimate question:
Whay the people dont buy the x125 and the alpha 125?
In you tube there arent videos of this.
What do you think? its for the price?

X-125's are RARE...
Hard to get one, and there is usually a waiting list.

Alpha series 125's seem to always be in stock.

I think there are two factors...One is as you guessed, price.
The second are the safety features built into the Alpha.
The three second delay and the "Safety Dongle" seem to be the features least liked.

Good Luck

doesn't the website say 200 seconds (ie 3 mins 20 seconds) on, 20 off, for the alpha?
