DM pretty much said it all... If you plan on upgrading later (to a used Bridgeport at least) get R8. This is part of the whole spending more on tooling than on the machine part of the deal (and let me add it's just not more, but when you're talking about a $500 mill a LOT more). My cheap boring head was not that cheap, and good ones approach (and probably exceed) the price of the cheap mill. If this is a hobby that you will do for years keep that in mind. After a few years it's scary how much you can spend on tooling. It was easier when I was single :-)
