Seems like it's not THAT much more than the HT and sure looks cooler from first impressions.

The Quest is capable of doing back to back roasts even while cooling the beans that where just ejected, with the HT you have to cool the machine down after every roast. It also has better air flow through the roaster then the HT which gives convection heat to the beans. Both are very well constructed machines that will last for a long time with regular cleaning and maintenance.

I do not see anything at HT USA about price increases but it wouldn't surprise me if they do. I know you where thinking about the HT P and it's pricing but $1200 is a big jump from $720 for the HT B but I don't think there is a wrong choice between the two machines.

I have such a fondness for my HT I can't bear the thought of parting with it even though I likely will never use it again.
