Yeah I wasn't suggesting anyone should buy it!

Again Mach suits me, it works and you don't have to be a geek to use it.
I only use 30KHz. In the vast majority of cases >100KHz is pointless. It's only useful to achieve high resolution with servos, so if you don't use servos you are basically paying for the convenience of a USB cable, which does seem rather silly.

I think having and operating CNC machines already qualifies us as geeks so it's a bit late for that. I had a couple of unresolvable problems with Mach3 last week, so I promptly switched to LinuxCNC. No regrets.
