Machine recommendations

[Mejisan]

Tech savy but new to lasers I'm looking to invest in a machine that will last me and take me from small things to bigger projects.
I'll use it to engrave all sorts of things from bottles to long pieces of wood. And cut acrylic card wood and beyond. I had been looking at glow forge Pro but don't like web based software element and would like something that can do rotary. Have ruled out full spectrum because of all the scam and controversy stuff I've read

These are my shortlist. Any advice welcome.

I've been using the OMTech laser for a few months now, and I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed. The machine has been inconsistent with its cutting power, and I've experienced a lot of issues with the software. It's not the user-friendly experience I was hoping for. I recently switched to a Monport laser, and let me tell you, the difference is night and day! If you're considering investing in a laser machine, I highly recommend checking out the Monport laser https://monportlaser.com?sca_ref=5016906.G4rcgXEwpX. It's been a much smoother experience for me!
