I'm pretty well set on the Daedalus Pro Max but could be convinced to go another route if there's a deal to be had on another unit.
But also, if there's going to be a sale on accessories like lasers, upgraded spindles, expansion kits, etc, it would be nice to have it on the radar. The normal BF ads don't really cover this type of equipment.
After your note about the Max category I'm down to the MySweety 3018 Max or the Daedus 3018 Pro Max.
They look like they might be identical so I'm leaning toward MySweetie just because I've seen the name more frequently.
Thanks for the recommendation on bits and acrylic. I haven't even bought the thing yet and I'm already eyeballing all kinds of upgrades and goodies.
