I'm not going to disagree with Jazz (it ain't worth the effort, anyway ) and I would build any day of the week. You might spend 50% more than one of the Chinese machines,

Good Man you know it makes sense. . .Lol

Ok lets look at this another way and look at the 50% more.? Lets say chinese machine costs £900 and Building costs £1500 which is very realistic figure for finished machine. £600 difference.
Now lets go 18mths down the road to the point when decide you'd like larger machine.! . . . Lets sell Both.!!

Ermmmm what to charge for used Chinese machine that can be bought for £900.? Ok lets be positive and go for 60% of new £540 = Loss of £360
So what do we sell Home built machine for that is good Strong bespoke design which uses decent components.?
Ok Lets offer it cheap for quick sale so £2000 = £500 profit

Which do you think will sell first.?
