I'm starting to restart my hobby activities.

I’m starting to restart my hobby activities. Going a different direction though; I intend to be more a tool user than a tool developer in the short term.

Which brings up my question: I’m looking seriously at getting a Syil X7 with a 5-axis config. Anyone have any experience with this series?

Nice reviews by good YT machinists can easily be found.
Some even favour it over Haas IIRC
Edit: Skyfire is also an option

I’m a bit annoyed that us.syil.com requires registration before seeing prices so I’ll just put them here so that others don’t need to jump through the hoops:

X5 Premium: Starts at $30k
X5 Performance: Starts at $32k
X7 Economy: Starts at $34k
X7 Standard: Starts at $36.5k
X7 Siemens: Starts at $52.5k
X7 5-axis: Starts at $62.7k
