Well I had a similar wish list and decided on the 0619 for a $2000 budget.. ($1,360 for the unit and the rest for tooling rotary table, vice, some end mills and some end mill holders, Sales tax and i was out the door and loaded in my truck at Muncy,PA for $ 2,200.) I'm sure more power and more mass and weight is nice but i'm not making bulldozer parts and it is, after all just a hobby. as for the power down/up feed....i was sad to pass it up, but after using my mill for a month i simply don't need it....
