Patty - I have never used a Newcomb but do have a Leclerc Nilus. I recently wove a alpaca and llama couch blanket on this loom. The loom weaves very smoothly and my blanket turned out quite wonderful. Even without trying a Newcomb, I know you can't go wrong with Leclerc. Plus, there appears to be alot of them around and thus you probably can find a good used one.
If buying used, make sure none of the loom parts are warped and that the back and front beam are parrallel to each other.
Hope this helps.
