The design of the machine itself is also a factor in the comparison.? My experience is that insert heads are well suited to the hammer type and other machines that run smaller diameter heads and lack chipbreakers or pressure bars and good hold down rollers.?
Tersa are wonderful with 5" diameter heads on a heavy stout machine.? I'd want Tersa on a Format, Martin, L'Invincible or Panhans type machine but not on a lower end one.? Others will have to speak of the 700 build as I'm not familiar enough with the design
to guess on a choice.? Dave

Now we're really gonna get into the weeds.? a Tersa head isn't free either.? And might even be the most expensive purchase option initially.? Depends on where it's sourced.? SCMi is prob. cheaper than Felder, and both likely
cheaper than sourcing one on your own.
Right now, a SilentPower head on a 16" Hammer combo J/P is less than $200 over their self aligning blade system.? And you can have it delivered today.? Don't know what the Tersa option adds or subtracts or how long the wait
would be for it to be made.? I think it's safe to say a Tersa will be more money in this scenario.
A 12" head directly from Tersa is roughly $2750 these days.
But if we're talking about a F4 Dual 51...........................I have no idea what the SP option runs on that.? I think it safe to say it's not going to be $200.

What nobody has factored into the cost equation is how many tersa blades you can purchase for the option cost on the insert cutterhead.? Isn't it a couple thousand dollar option?
