I have a very small home shop with space (240sqft) and power (220v) limitations that influences many of purchases. I purchased a Haas CM1 1st and then the Neo. Both fit in tight spaces and run on very low usage of 220V single phase power. They both have strengths and weaknesses but complement each other nicely. both great machines! Sure there are lots of hobby machines for half the price, but none that will hold tolerance cycle after cycle. It really depends on if you are trying to make money or want to hobby around. I make a living with these machines and need them to work every time I turn them on.

Why would you pay so much for so little. There are so many options out there for 1/2 the price.
