Dual Extruder Recommendations Please

Have had success using a Replicator 2 and am researching what 3D Printer to get next that has dual extruders for two color printing in PLA. Any recommendations? I've read the Rep 2X only does ABS, but the FlashForge 3d Printer Creator Pro does PLA and has good reviews according to Amazon. Any suggestions (and pros and cons) would be appreciated. Thanks!

Printing PLA in the Replicator 2X is a bad idea in general, there's a lot of information on the MakerBot Google Group from users have tried (and mostly had issue), since the extruder design is optimized for ABS material.

The FF Creator Pro and Dreamer are better for both types of filament.
