Uccnc Vs Mach4 Hobby?

[totalperformance]

New to the cnc world. I'm currently demoing bodcad cam. It's kind of pricey but I don't mind spending the money. I'm in the middle of a g0704 cnc conversion. I know many prefer mach software but I was looking at the uccnc software. Uccnc don't really give me a lot of details like spindle speed and control using a c41 board, automatic tools changer capability, fluid control. Any help would be appreciated.

I have just started checking out Fusion 360: http://www.autodesk.com/products/fu...YcDeBkGKl5V_ei3xmngvWXwc9lezm1nbZQhoCyUHw_wcB
It is from Autodesk the Autocad developer. It is CAD CAM and looks to be very capable. Best thing, is it's free to hobbyists, students and startup companies.

I'm digging in to Fusion 360 also and like it a lot so far. Is pretty easy to use and it's nice that it's a CAD/CAM integrated solution. I haven't 'sent' any program to the mill yet - it's an Ez Trak with a floppy drive so I'll have to jump through some hoops to get a program to the mill, but it looks promising.

I had not heard of Uccnc, so i just cruised their web site. its a stepper control like Mach. I didn't see any reason to consider it over Mach. For stepper controls, Mach is the gold standard.
