New milling motor Proxxon FBS 240/E upgrade to Kress 1050 FME-1

So I have a cnc, that is about 90x45cm in size. Until now I was using the Proxxon FBS 240/E, but it is not up to the job, so I need to replace it. Right now I am thinking about getting a Kress 1050 FME-1, or one of the chinese 2.2kW liquid cooled motors (the chinese one is also twice the price). Which would be a better option for me, or should I get something completely different. I am mostly working with wood and occasionally plastics, but I would like to be able to also work on aluminum, when we upgrade the machine.

The Chinese water spindle is way better than the Kress, which is not really made for that job. Its like comparing Ferrari to a tractor

I was leaning towards the Chinese spindle, since i saw a comparison, and it is a lot quieter.
As far as I know Ferrari also made tractors, and the Proxxon I had was not made for the job, but it worked for the last few years. But as I said, I will most likely go with a Chinese spindle.

Think you'll find that was Lamborghini.!!. . . But Boyan is correct Kress are toys in comparison.

So I found some local guys doing a group buy, and I got in, so I ordered a 1,5kW spindle, since the 2,2kW are quite a bit over my budget.

I had a Kress. Noisy as hell. Go for a smaller Chinese Watercooled spindle if you can.
