Hi Welcome,
Ok well unless you build your self then you'll struggle to find a machine that size with only £1900 (2500euro) that is any good. Washout's warning about Commercial machines is very very sound advice. Here's why.!!
I build machines for people and I can tell you it's not possible to build good machine with decent quality components at this size and make enough money to make it commercialy viable. So if they are selling machines at this size for £1900 or less then something is wrong or compromised.
I'm often contacted by people who have been bitten by the Snake oil Merchants when there machines don't work as expected or more often the case breaking down every other week or day. Mostly this happens because they cut corners in areas that matter most, ie: Electronics or Linear rail/Screws. Now to be fair I don't class these sellers so much Rip off Merchants more preditors looking for Green CNC buyers who know no better.
But this happens with machines costing £10K and people who have done some research still get bitten and it's these people who are Rip off merchants.
So be careful because you are the kind pray the preditors are looking for. By that I mean someone with no or much desire to self build and with more than couple of hundred pounds to spend.
If you see anything then run it by the Forum and well give you an honest opinion on it.
