there has never been any argument, put a truckmount alongside a portable and the difference is plain to see. People that disagree have never experienced the 2. People discusings things they know nothing about, they are not really having a discussion just putting forward ill informed opinions.
I was without my truckmount for about a week and a half and it was hell. If you can convince yourself that something so inferior can do the same thing then carry on. It is not the difference of one being portable and the other being built into a van, the difference is so vast that it is a bit laughable when you see people saying "the power of a truckmount".
