Todd:

    I upgraded my Taig to ER16 last year and have no regrets. The ER16
    collet is far superior to the standard Taig collet. I also use very
    small conical cutters and runout has definitely been reduced with
    the ER16. I was also having trouble with my cutters breaking inside
    the standard Taig collet. The ER16 collet fixed this problem also. 

    As far as increasing rpm on the standard issue Taig spindle, I
    believe that it is only rated for 10,000 rpm. From what I understand
    increasing rpm's would require different bearings.
