It's the machine I use, no complaints. Lots of heat/pressure. I have used mine with 75 feet of hose without any issues.

450 psi, although I never use over 300. Not sure about the heater I'm afraid. I was under the impression that there was only one heater in there but that it can be set to 1kw (position one) or 2kw (position two), so I'm not sure what he means by 'one of the heaters'.

Hey John,what you think,good standby machine?

Could be ok  ,  depending on price . He says he fitted new motors , i would check out what motors he fitted incase he he fitted some really low power cheapos ... you could upgrade the vacs to High performance electros yourself .   You dont know about the pump either as in it could pack in as soon as u get it , but that could be fixed . 
Heater wise , i think i would get an external like this amtech instead of fitting a new internal ...

Depends on what you need yourself or how much u want to spend i suppose ...

Presume inline heaters have to be running at same time as porty....if so a lot of draw on electrics.

There is lots of available electricity in most homes  ..

I have being using my quad vac boosted Enforcer a lot lately while using that cfr heater at the same time .

I was thinking of using the Enforcer as the main machine with the Ninja behind pulling through the exhaust of the Enforcer.
Would this work....would the waste tank stand it.

You could give a try , one vac at a time .  The Enforcers tank looks really strong , i doubt a couple of more vacs would do anything in series .
I must try that myself .. as in attach my booster to the exhaust , i will measure the lift and generally see what it does for performance .
Mine is plugged in in parallel to raise airflow .  I cant accurately measure the increase in airflow but i have noticed the max lift is developed faster when the booster is plugged in as i the needle on the lift gauge rises significantly faster .

You could also switch the low powered vac out for high powered one , i did that too , its an east performance gain , i can see any downside so far .

Just a bit of a pain getting both machines out, however on larger jobs you could make the time.

Why use 2 machines John. A booster box with 2 vac motors in it would be much easier. :)
