I'd suggest the pcnc440 from tormach above their router . It costs more but you'd get so much more from it . I look at that router as being above the chinese cnc's that a guy can find on ebay but not far above . The only youtube videos for those routers are from tormach and I doubt they've sold many , though I could be wrong .
I have 4 of the 440's and they are great little machines and very capable for their size . They take up very little space and are easy enough to move around if needed . I've been running them hard for a few years now and they just keep running . The key is not to go nuts on all the bells and whistles which really hike the price .
They have nice looking lathes the price might be a bit high depending on a budget
the bantam is another one I don't see as a good buy . I've looked at their videos in the past and I just see it as good marketing . Price-wise they are expensive for what a guy gets and I'm sure there isn't much under all that plastic . The spindle motor looks like an rc motor , and the round slides aren't a great choice . If your looking at doing wood and plastic then it would probably be sufficient but I can't see it doing well with aluminum over the long haul
Another possible option might be sieg if you can find a dealer

btw , haas sells a little router type mill for schools and they likely give discounts for educators , if i recall they weren't too extreme in price .
