Hi all - first post, but have been lurking on and off for a while.

I am a hobbyist/tinkerer and all-around amateur.
I have a software developer background, but through my tinkering with Arduinos and Beaglebones I found an interest in making brackets, cases etc. for my electronics projects.

I have an EMCO Compact 5 with the milling attachment which is "okay" for turning/milling small plastic/aluminium parts but it is too small for the parts I want to make.

I would like to mill aluminium parts up to 280 x 150 x 50 mm and within better tolerances than the EMCO can achieve.
I have been looking at some cnc converted Optimum machines and the MH22 looks like a good option:
German seller here -> MH22 sets

I am partial to getting the machine in Germany due to prices, shipping cost and (God forbid) warranty cases. I live in Denmark.

I am curious about your thoughts on the Optimum MH22 (or alternatives) and also if investing in the extra options of the Hiwin ball screws and brushless spindle are justifiable for a discerning hobbyist such as myself.

Hope to get some good inputs on this pleasant dilemma
