I'm admittedly in the "ride it if ya got it" collector realm.
That backdrop, looking at the Confente as a rare and fabulous machine in quite exquisite condition - would I rather have that or a Wizzard? Might the Wizzard cost 20% of the Confente?
Seeing Mike Howard's recent pictures, I think I'd enjoy the Wizzard more, because I find the pedigree even more interesting, built by men who, in part, learned their craft from the legendary Confente. A lineage that leads from Masi, to California, through Confente resulting in Baylis, Howard-Medici.
Yes, irrespective of monetary considerations, I'd rather have a Wizzard.
