I'm currently running a CXA on a solid tool post riser on my PM-1440GT. https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/cxa-qctp-on-the-pm-1440gt.57630/#post-501826
The CXA works on the compound but adds no real benefit in rigidity due to the flex in the compound which is the weak link. So if you for a tool post on the compound I would stay with the BXA.
Here is my original PM-1440 thread with other changes I have done including the VFD. https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/the-pm-1440gt-has-landed.50194/
mksj has a simpler VFD setup than what I did.
