Welcome James. Pullmaxes are pretty common in your area. Eckolds are really scarce and expensive. A mid size Pmax can be had for 3-5K depending on tooling...sometimes less. The cheapest used Eckold runs 10K with no tooling. What Eckolds can do that nothing else does is shrink with tooling that doesn't leave stipple marks...as well as what the Pmaxes do. However, Eckolds don't have the same throat usually.
