Verdict
The SNK HGM-5 holds a spec advantage in this comparison, but the right choice depends on your shop's priorities. If the SNK HGM-5's strengths in areas like X Travel and Y Travel align with your work, it's the clear pick. The SNK NeoV-MII may still win on dealer proximity, existing tooling compatibility, or specific features that matter most to your applications. Request quotes from both dealers and, if possible, run your actual parts on each machine before deciding.
