Older Round Baler

Which is the better older Round Baler baler - Vicon 1601 or a Welger RP200.
It’s mainly for hay / haylage - 40 acres so not a huge area but am wanting to be able to do it in house. Both are low count but the Vicon is a more ££ in comparison and also a variable v fixed chamber.

Is there much difference in maintenance between a belt and roller ?

my gut feeling is towards the Vicon but I cant help thinking the Welgars are sound old machines.

thanks for suggestions in advance
