Looking at the Holzmann website they appear to be yet another "house colours and sticker" brand supplying Far Easter made machinery. Cynical Clive reckons that the extra handling costs of Far East-Austria-UK Distributor-Customer supply chain compared to Far East-UK Distributor-Customer chain means that for equivalent prices you could well be getting an inferior machine. But who knows what sort of deal Holzmann are able to get from their supplier as prices seem to be very fluid on the Far East factory side. So it may well be possible that their supply deal is good enough to offset the extra supply chain costs.
I imagine this sort of thing is Ketans Mastermind specialist subject!
Leaving aside "obviously too cheap to be good but you might be lucky" machines my big worry would be that price comparability in spite of the longer supply chain has been got by using a supplier with wider production tolerances or more lax quality control. So you'd be rolling the dice on the odds of getting a good one, an ordinary one or a bad one. Squintillions of "My X is rubbish – No my X is wonderful" arguments on t'web attest to that. Although I do wonder if the manner in which X has been used by the protagonists may be so different that the whole argument is veers towards comparing apples to millionaires bites.
My personal preference (and prejudice) is always towards industrial quality machinery built to last, forever at home shop utilisation really. Objectively Martins maybe 4 hours a week comes out around 2,000 hours per decade. Having bought something at reasonably modest cost lasting that long most ordinary folk would consider they have had their moneys worth. Conversely 2,000 hours barely covers a years single shift with overtime factory work. Bloated slave driving plutocrat boss is likely to be on the warpath after whoever decided it was cost effective to re-equip with cheap machines.
Generally, all other things being more or less equal, its better to deal locally when buying anything that might go wrong. Makes life easier if its your turn to be Mr Unlucky. Also sensible to choose a vendor, like Ketan, who is known to go the extra mile just in case its more than "someone had to get the one that slipped though QC". Big box store "have another one" approach when its broke and still under warranty is fine when you are the guy who got the bad one. Not so good if it turns out they are all like that or if you have chosen unwisely and are asking too much of the machine.
