I'm doing research on natural products, but I would like to be able to analyze other academics' research.
I met with local dealers of Shimadzu, Agilent and Perkin Elmer.
I got the first offer from Shimadzu. They stated that Shimadzu 2020NX is the product that meets my budget. They were going to give it with a 12-vial autosampler.
The second offer came from Perkin Elmer. Clarus SQ 8 + Clarus 690 GC + auto sampler (108) + headspace (40).
The last offer came from Agilent. 5977B. (8890 GC + 5977 with SS and diff pump + Pal3 combipal with headspace unit.)
Shimadzu is working on a better offer for me...

But now, I seem to accept agilent's offer. Because they offered a system including combipal.
Also there are disadvantages of Agilent's offer...
They will give diffusion pump and stainless steel ion source. (Not an inert extractor ion source nor Turbo moleculer) All others will give a turbo moleculer pump.
Agilent's dealer said it was better because my samples were not clean and I don't need to buy an inert plus MSD.
Although dealer added, if i need it in the future I can upgrade to inert plus.

What do you think I should do?
Is the diffusion pump more suitable for me? Do try to get a turbo molecular pump?
Is the ion source important to someone who works natural products? Or stainless steel is enough?
Do you think which's more important to get Pal3 combi pal or to buy an inert device?
** Customer service is good for shimadzu and agilent here in local.
Thank you in advance for your help.
