Lampworking/fusing kiln

Can this thing really do it both? Will it be a problem that there are not elements on the door? I know it will be fine for lampworking, but can this thing slump a nice bowl or work well for draping a vase? This thing costs a fortune. My studio is only 196 square feet so I need one kiln that can work with boro lampwork, fusing, slumping and draping!

Their SC2 & SC3 are basically the same design if you get the bead door options. I have an SC2 w/bead door and view window, and it fuses & slumps just fine. The caveat would be that the SC's are smaller, so there may be a difference. There will probably be a cooler spot on the front, which may or may not make a difference.

How's that for a definite maybe?

I went for the F200. Man am I nervous. The "thing" was not right for me.
