Re: New benchtop mill

RF-45 is the highest quality readily available benchtop mill you're going to find. It's pretty pain free to use and can legitimately make good parts (especially with DRO), but it is small, doesn't have much z-travel, and changing tools can be annoying.

It's well within your budget, but you could also be looking at bridgeports/bridgeport clones with your budget, if you have space.
