New model of a small mill coming, some manufacturing pics from the factory to look at.

The 6" vice is pretty big, I have a 9x31 mill, and it takes up a lot of space. I bought 2 4" Glacern's, sometimes 1 vice won't hold the work end to end. Here is what they look look side by side, I've been busy on the mill, so it's not cleaned up yet.

 
Sounds like 4" is the way to go. Do you like the Glacern or should I just go with Kurt?

For what I do it is fine, Kurt would be a step up from what everybody says.
 
Can someone comment on how the column bolts to the base? It looks like it bolts from underneath and would be hard to get to if sitting on a stand or palette. I'm debating between this machine or a 833vt and it will mostly come down to which one is easier to move into a basement. The 833vt is of course twice as heavy but the column bolts from the top which might make taking it apart easier.
 
Looks like mine bolts from underneath. I'm not tipping it to look underneath to confirm. :)
 
The 833 would be nice but my floors can't handle the weight.
