    the proxon is inexpensive but works quite well, the service from
    foredom is outstanding but the product is not as versatile as the
    proxon..check the warranties and start there..there is also a really
    good micro mill drill press lathe combo that is in the grizzly tools
    catalogue..i used to have one but it took a swim last year apres
    hurricane katrina..i don't remeber the brand off hand, exactly,but
    it was great - had a small footprint and did way more than i dreamed
    possible with one machine..The proxxon and foredom are both good
    tools but have you considered the gravermax system..its versatile and
    does all the things with wax you need as well as a bevy of other
    important milling, drilling and fabricating operations..it can be
    financed, as it is a major purchase, and check out metalweb news for
    used equip. and tools. 

    if i had to chose right this second based on your list i'd go for
    the proxxon - but the gravermax is something to keep in mind, or at
    least take a look at.
