I also bought a 80 componon-s and I only got it when I took the enlarger also. I bought a big RC dryer for 50 Euros, used to cost new 20 times more. For 35mm I use my focomat 1C, also a very capable enlarger and even cheaper then the V35. With the 1C you can also use other enlarging lenses without losing the autofocus capability.
