I know there are quite a few threads out there like this but none seemed to answer my question exactly.

Im looking to purchase my first Mill in the next few weeks and would like to know all the option as well as pros and cons of each.

So far here is what I have looked at, and keep in mind my initial budget is about $1500

1. X2
2. X3
3. G0704
4. Super X2 from LMS


Im leaning more towards the G0704 as its added size and power as well as quality look much more to be what im looking for. The machine will most likely be going CNC in the future so that needs to be taken into consideration. I would most likely also want to be able to purchase a kit that could be built using just the manual mill. If anyone has anyother suggestion I would like to hear them. Im in Georgia, USA so also take that into consideration as i dont want to import anything. I have watched all the videos Hoss has posted on his G0704 and it looks to be ideal just want to know thwe alternatives.

I'll be posting the phase 1 conversion soon, requires no lathe access ( if you buy 1 part from me)
and very easy to machine parts for the DIYer.
You can be cncing in no time.
Then you can get fancy with it if you want.

Ah, its a no brainer then

I will be getting a G0704...any idea if they are in stock?

Anyones guess, the sales people don't seem to have a good handle on what's in stock and
when it'll actually ship.
Just place your order and with any luck if your closest warehouse has any, you'll have one in a few days.
otherwise, you'll have time to prep.
