Are you going to buy the 1100 or the 770?

I did my own conversion, so cost was lower. I figure with everything included (machine, electronics, ballscrews), I am in for about $4k (assuming my time is free of course).
I am using the Tormach ER holders (which have dropped in price since I last purchased). They are great quality for the price. I think I have 6 of them now, as well as a 1/4" drill chuck, a 3/8" set screw holder, and a Superfly.
Howdy folks,
I've been contemplating a Tormach for a couple years. I like the simplicity of the Tormach TTS, but would be interested in hearing from others that maybe have bought similar tooling elsewhere, or have their Tormach (or other CNC) differently. Obviously the referenced Z location is a plus. But I'm wondering about the repeatability of the TTS, since the R8 Chuck retracts into the spindle, when tightened. So it would seem that differing air pressure would cause the collet to pull harder or less hard, affecting the Z-reference. Am I missing something here?
I'd love to get a Haas Mini mill with the Cat40, but I don't think that's in the budget (even a used one).
Any others have a different thought on tooling set-up for small/home CNC's?
Thanks,
Eric
