Sorry, but you forget Mach3 licence, while counting CS-labs price.
Shipping to UK is $15, i don't know about taxes.
Even if compare with 4 axes CS Labs - ET6 is cheaper.
We had ET3 control board with TTL Inputs/Outputs. I've got a lot of inquiries about breakout board with galvanic isolation for ET3. I know lots of customers do need galvanic isolation included and will not search cheap adapters/interfaces.
There are plenty of simple budget machines that don't need in 20-40-60 configurable inputs/outputs. We have ET6 kits for this machines.
We offer single board computers, touch screens, wireless pendant as options. If you afraid that ALL of Raspberry-Pi, Odroid, Nanopi, Tinkerboard, Banana-Pi, Orange-Pi and some other single board computers will disappear in a few years - that not a problem. You can choose standard PC with Linux or Windows OS.Last edited by my-cnc; 11-08-2017 at 01:25 AM.

CS Labs is darn expensive in fact. 721.64 €. The cheaper 4 axis controller can not square the gantry. I know its stable and works but still not happy with them. Plus i need Mach3 and the problems it brings. We have had that conversation many times. Still a big NO for me.
Kflop is expensive and is not for the typical user. People want to make CNC machines not learn C+, please...
At the moment i would buy a chinese offline controller / ~150-500e/ any day instead of the before mentioned.
Thats why i see this myCNC-ET6 board as interesting.
Another thing is that for that money i will expect an EMI shielded aluminum cover, plug in connectors and onboard PSU /some of which surprisingly it has in the form of the DC converters/.
The differential signal is another thing i like here. The small computer is very important for me as it makes it real offline system, which for me is 100x better than separate PC and software.
make that board for 100$ more to output analogue signal and we will see how CS labs will sell their 700 euro board..
People most of all are interested in money saving.
