Your thoughts on the AR1200 from Machinery & Electrical

[EddyCurrent]

Adding to what gavztheouch said, I've just realised I also contacted them before building myself and they were very willing to customize the machine for me such that if you wanted two ballscrews on X then that could be done, also if you want particular drivers etc. they would also do that. I would suggest giving them a call.

Thanks for the advice all. After giving it some thought it looks like a DIY build might actually be my best option after all. It's time for some serious research!

How about: http://r.ebay.com/Cu1QKV 240v, practically new, 1300x1200, vac bed, 3kw spindle!

I am a little biased as I have one :) but it seems to match your needs?
