The advantage of the so called automated microtomes (the only thing automated about them is the block advance) is that they alleviate wrist effort and in some ways prevent carpal tunnel syndrome that affects some histotechs (mostly of the "senior persuasion").
I would go with the Leica.

I'm looking for some opinions about the automated microtomes currently available. Which ones do most techs prefer? Which are more reliable? Is there an advantage to having a semi-automated microtome?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
