    Other than cost, it depends on what AND how much you want to do.  I
    have manual and my brother-in-law has computerized(Hermes).  I have
    several fonts (not cheap).   He has many many many fonts and even
    logos and pictures.   I usually engrave rather than stamp quality
    marks and signature very satisfactorily but low volume one-of-a-kind
    pieces.  He engraves quantity. With both you need to be able to
    hold/clamp firmly what you engrave. Remember, your hand can slip out
    of the letter grove and make a mess or the computer can hang up (not
    common?).   Training is also a consideration.  If you and your
    employees are computer literate, then that is easier.  If you just
    want to pay for the machine quickly, the computerized one can really
    crank out some name plates and signs (if you don't have a sign shop
    nearby). Good luck, Regis
