Does My Desired Mill Exist At Any Price?

In my old shop, and actually in the garage area of my new one I use overhead storage as much as I can to open floor space. Things you dont' think of are like keeping smaller stock and cut offs on higher shelves and you can do it behind the mill and above a lathe, drill press, grinder, you get the idea. I have the PM-935TS with a VFD to run the three phase motor. Its the long way around getting to some higher RPM but it gets me there. The rigidity of the machine great for the size. I'm going to add a mist coolant system soon. For what I spent I don't think there is much out there that is better in MHO. Hey I hope you find what will work best for your needs, we all work on different things and have our own priorities and preferences. I look forward to see what you decide on.
 
Also just found the golmatic MD23/MD24. Maybe $20k or so to my door, wow.

So my mill does exist, 3 different manufacturers in fact. Rong Fu, Wabeco and Golmatic. But can I stomach the price. Even at the low end of the scale, the RF, I'd have no problem spending that amount if it weren't for the fact that we're now into "real machine" territory, and actual quality ones at that. It's disappointing that I can't get RF quality at PM prices. I mean, I'm surprised there's no market for it.
