I have a strict budget of AUS$600 and am considering these models

Also the guy from TW Australia also says he can also sell me a second hand machine for $520 which is an Epsilon brand with no way to distinguish the model. It is a cheaper equivalent to something like this:

Doing some background research it seems that Epsilon is actually a rebadged Eagnas so it will probably be something along the lines of an Eagnas Hawk 80. From what I hear this machine seems to pull anywhere between 5-10 lbs more than what it says and since I already string at a high tension (65/62). Could this potentially damage my racket (Aeropro Drive +) if it actually pulled 75lbs? Also I hear that Eagnas has inconsistent reviews and quality control. However the machine has fixed clamps and what they claim to be better features.
Also I would like to know if it is worth it to get a 6 pt mounting system over the 2 pt mounting system at a AUS$100 premium.
I will be stringing anywhere between 1-4 rackets a month, mainly for myself and occasionally my friends so I do not want to get a machine that could be potentially damaging to any racket.
