I know you like your little machine, and your points are all valid... but I think everyone would agree that the biggest (And closest to full size machine) you can get, the better.

Certainly that machine versus no machine is AWESOME though.
Exactly. I don't think anyone will disagree about the Bridgeport being a better manual machine for the money. I think that the benchtop machines, which sometimes are the largest machine someone can realistically acquire, are not given much acceptance.
