Studio equipment comparison
Carriage One is a $5,500 commercial reformer you can buy online. Sculptformer listed at $8,499 on September 3, 2026. XFormer and Megacore ask for a quote. Official licensed machines add a separate yearly studio license. None of these products are interchangeable.
Start with the number you can defend: machine price, freight, warranty years, footprint, and whether production timing is a published range or a quote. Then try the exact machine. Do not treat similar slow-resistance class formats as the same product.
