I saw one of these running at IMTS in 2006, where they recut the same part over and over (mill air) for demonstration purposes... well, unless they changed something, the TM-1 I saw had run the same part over probably about 60 times by the time I got there and it was STILL cutting dust off the part. It just seems like the repeatability must not be very good if after that many re-runs it was still cutting dust off the part.
BUT! If it works for you, awesome.
Just to throw another name out there... my faaavorite mill I use at work is a Hurco w/rigid tapping (awesome):

They're very space efficient and have great feature lists for the money, though they're more production oriented than a TM series from Haas.
