[Market-farming] Sophisticated Seeders

I asked several weeks ago about seeders for smaller seed and have heard
back from several people with recommendations for the Mater-macc and
NIbex. I have been unable to find any importers for the Nibex and in
checking out the matermacc have found information about Stanhay,
Gaspardo, Seed Spider and the Jang Automation Clean Seeder. Does anyone
have experience with these brands or possibly other seeders?
My goal is to find a good hand pushed seeder for smaller seed (carrots -
can be pelleted, turnips, radish) which ideally would also have the
flexibility to handle beets and spinach seed also. The seeder should
singulate well and have good depth control. If a hand pushed seeder
which meets these criteria isn't available, I'll consider a 3pt mounted
seeder, but since most of my plantings for these items are between 400
and 2,000 row feet, a 3pt mounted seeder seems like overkill.
I have used Earthway, pinpoint and Planet Jr. seeders and none of them
have met my needs for the above listed crops.
