Another vote for hypertherm - we have a single phase 30 amp for general workshop use (cutting big holes in vans.....) and a three phase 45 amp in the
fab shop - goes through 1" steel with ease , and I regularly cut 12mm ally with it 
I have a chinese claimed 40 amp one at home , its OK for the price (£180 !) but its no hypertherm
