I cannot comment on the Vienna as I have never used one but I have had the Bravo mk2 for 2 weeks now and it is fantastic.

I bought it to replace the Mk1 and am very pleased with the whole machine from the quick release carriages to the ratchet system that stops you over tightening the jaws.

The only thing I would add is a switch for the light as there is not one, the machine has to be turned off to turn off the light.

Just to add Birch's were selling these with 20% off and throwing in a few blanks too. Not sure if this offer is still on but it was last month

Pretty sure Aldridges will match any B*****s offers on Silca machines.

Good Morning

I hope these details will help you out as well -

 

hopefully you are aware we have been working hard with JMA to help reduce the prices of the JMA Range of key machines to our end customers, As JMA always aim to make the Higher Spec machines to their rivals ...

I would like to inform you of our latest price drops on these key machines, hence my post today .

 

The JMA VIENNA - Was 1st introduced to be direct competition against the NEW Silca Bravo "Maxima" (NOT the lower Professional machine) , Both machines great in every way for Heavy duty usage.

 

The Vienna was priced accordingly at ****** Today I would like to inform you of the Newer LOWER Selling price / this has been lowered to Give the Silca "Professional" (the LOWER version of the Bravo range) direct competition But what you will receive is a far great machine compared to this!.. (Basically the Higher Spec to the Bravo Maxima / still at far cheaper price)

 

 

The price of this is now ONLY ****** which I hope you agree is a great price for a very good machine -

 

 

Again please note this is priced against the "Lower Bravo Professional", But the Vienna has been made ABOVE the higher spec's of the Silca Bravo Maxima!

 

 

 

A brief description of the machine is below, but please feel free to check the PDF attached . and do not hesitate to contact myself or SKS for any further help or advise on this machine or any other issues you may have.

A new stylish heavy duty and robust cylinder key machine from JMA. The Vienna is easy to use with it's 4 way quick flip jaws, smooth carriage action and bright LED light.

Additional features include a new Key Cutting Counter and Electronic Calibration check make this machine ideal for the professional key cutter who wants only the best JMA has to offer.

Probably the most advanced key-cutting machine on the market, it has a 4-sided clamp with a novel self-turning system. It incorporates a lighting system using leds and switches itself off when it has not been used for some time.

Its robust design, the new technologies incorporated the latest generation materials used, make it a long-lasting key-cutting machine that will always maintain its key-cutting precision.

 

 

This all said JMA Vienna SMART has been made to the Lower Spec to match the Bravo Professional , this also is far cheaper than the Pro. 2 for the same Spec machine .

The question is why buy something more expensive and worse when they can get the same cheaper ?
