Horseman System Question

[waffles]

I’m considering making the jump to large format, and I’ve settled on Horseman Optical Bench System.

But I’m having a hard time deciphering the differences between the various models I find on fleaBay.

What is the difference between the L45, the L45EM, LX, LX-C, and EX? Which is generally considered the “best” and why?

The differences among the L45, L45 Pro, LE, LS, LX and LX-C models are explained here:

I have an L for sale, along with a many accessories. The Main Frame Displacement / Focal Plane Rise of the L45 Pro/LX/LX-C can be obtained manually, without the scales on my camera. Send me a message if you're interested.

Long time the Horseman cameras were not advanced movement-wise. In the 1988 catalog for instance they still got no yaw-free model. The advancement to the top happened late.
