Default Sahinler or Saymak power hammer?

Hello to Everyone,
For the past 6 years i have owned a 50 kg Sayha (now Saymak). I am considering a larger hammer. I am interested in either the 60 kg Sahinler or the 60 kg Saymak. I realize that both Turkish hammers are similar, but does anyone have a preference, and why? Real time stories?
Thanks

I have the 110# Sahinler and like it. I have used the Saymak in the same size also and truthfully I don't see enough difference between them to amout to much. If I were shopping for one I think the price would make my mind up.

I think the new Saymac has another dovetail in the anvil to help align dies rather than using shims.
