Best Kitchen Ice Maker?

[Howard Strang]

Doesn't require much of a recipe (though you can get quite creative!) I'm needing to make some decisions now that will impact our Shaved Ice operation for next summer. Debating between a Scotsman Ice Machine and a Manitowoc Ice Machine, basically needing to go with whatever kicks out the highest quantity of ice but also the most consistent thickness to feed into our "ice shaver." I just thought I'd check around to see if anybody out there had an ice machine in their kitchen that they loved enough to recommend. Thanks for your help!
