Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade my rotary collection, and i'm torn between the Stigma bizarre v2 machine or the dragonfly machine. They look very similar and have a lot of the same parts and the way they work seem to be almost identical. the biggest differences are price (dragonfly seems to be more pricey) and that the new bizarre has a fly wheel that seems to be easily changed out to give short, medium, long stroke lengths (25 bucks a piece, comes with medium) as opposed to the dragonfly which has a long and short but you must get two machines in order to get both. I am looking to use these machines for lining, shading and color packing. So if anyone has experience with either machine I would love your opinion and feedback. Also if you can let me know what stroke length you use or prefer. Thanks everyone.

I have both machines and I would give a slight edge to the Dragonfly over the Stigma machine but you can't lose on any since both are good. I just like the balance on the Dragonfly a little better than the Stigma because of its smaller size. The Stigma hits a little harder but the Dragonfly is smoother. You can buy the Dragonfly at Tatsoul or Painful Plsure. If you want to get the Stigma, get it at Eikon. Best of luck to your decision.
