Are there any major benefits to a vf3 over a vf2 series other than travel? Such as noticeable rigidity etc?

Do to the random nature of the work im doing. I'm having a hell of a time deciding between vf2-3 and ss vs mold for that matter.

Also i cant tell if there are any notable power requirement differences for the 2 sizes with the same spindles. I'm renting a nice space but i will have to use a phaseperfect converter and that is a another can of worms.
