If you want the best, it is my opinion that you want the Monks... I have never USED one- but, the Loricraft is the same concept. The difference being that Monks offers a "one touch" experience, from what I understand. I however did not have the cash flow to dump 5k (approx) into a Monks, so I thought I would save 3k and but the Loricraft PRC-3. I assume that the Loricraft and Monks take more time per LP to clean than say a VPI machine. With the Loricraft you have to apply the fluid, and do the dust removal yourself.. I prefer this method though, as it gives me some time to chill and drink a beer while I clean my vinyl... it also allows me to have control over the fluid application, etc.

So, to make this shorter- I think if you have a record business or tons of income.. Monks is the way to go. Other than that... it is hard to pay 3k extra for that minor added convenience.
