Imho, you have to consider FastCopy instead RW4, Fastcopy is a 2 buttons machine (read&Write) like TRS-5000.

 

Fastcopy is less expensive of RW4 and have all copy capabilities of RW4.

 

Now, is hard to say what is the better machine between TRS-5000 and FasCopy, actually the capabilities are very similar, but consider that Fastcopy is ready to copy Texas-Crypto keys without external devices, and can copy VAG Id=42 keys, and by the end of June will be released (for free) an update to copy NISSAN Id=41 keys, and also on this case no external modules is needed.

 

 

Advanced Diagnostics AD90 & Bianchi 883 products could also be considered

 

Is true, but between AD90 and Bianchi883, AD90 can copy some Philips Crypto keys and B883 no, but for how it concern Texas-Crypto keys copy, both needs internet connection and/or external modules.

 

 

So at the end you have to consider not only the machine, but also what external modules are necessary to do all that is in you interest.

RW4 and Fastcopy actually are the only machines that can completly works in stand-alone mode, the others for some things needs external modules, Personal Computer or internet connection.

Interesting points.

 

I think potential buyers should also consider the reliability of the Silca machines; top notch!

I would say the Bianchi 883 now is far behind the Silca Fastcopy or RW4 - and also the JMA TRS5000 - so sorry to say this really is a machine that in itself is ok but to buy now would not be the best choice .

 

also the AD90 - great for all it can do - but so many add on's with all the computer software's and Internet access needed to run them !

 

JMA's TRS 5000 has been around for over 2 years and now with the cloner (that can be hidden out the way) is a great package - And I know JMA are working on adding more things to this machine .

 

Same with the Fast Copy - Silca Are working away with add ons and all.

 

So all said - I would say TRS5000 as this is a JMA Machine (I have to ) but it really is a Next generation Machine,

 

Silca Fast copy - does a little more at the moment - BUT you are still stuck with the Battery head keys !

 

I would say 60/40 in favour of the JMA machine ...

Well I hope Keyline pull there fingers out and bring the 883 up to speed with the other machines mentiond here....
