Ring3,
Thanks for the info. The Grabber would still have to be manually indexed, so the only advantage of the Automate is eliminating the handle cranking and possibly saving my rotator cuff !!! LOL. To be honest, I really want a Spolar Gold ( and Really want a Spolar Gold hydraulic with 12-20-28-.410 heads ). However, I can't justify the cost so thought the Automate might be worth considering. In order to do it right I think that I would have to upgrade to the 9000G and Automate. I hate to take a beating on my four Grabbers, however. Just might have to live with the cranking for a while.
Thanks for your help,
Jim
