Would I be right in saying that router style gantry machines are capable of better accuracy than a vertical mill (at similar prices)?

If I was looking for a machine that could mill pcbs and aluminium parts, would a gantry type machine be better?

If i was going to rule out ever cutting steel, would a gantry machine be a better all rounder?

Can a small vertical do pcb's just as well? (assuming it's a decent machine)

My milling experience was all on Bridgeport verticals during my apprenticeship.

I looking at all the various options for a small cnc milling machine: Buying a Sieg X3 type machine and converting it, Syil type machines, DIY gantry routers, etc etc.

I would be interested in hearing views from people that bought a vertical and wished they'd got a gantry machine and visa-verse.

In an ideal world i suppose both types of machine have their advantages...
