Microkinetics and Tormach CNC machines

Our team recently purchased an SQ CNC mill from Microkinetics. The SQ is a medium sized, square (dovetail) column 3 axis mill with 20" of X axis travel, similar to the Tormach 1100. (link)

From a CD search I learned that team 701 owns a desktop mill from Microkinetics, and was wondering if anyone else owns any CNC equipment from this company. If so, what has your experience been like? What are your thoughts on quality of the machine, helpfulness of the support personnel etc.? Are you satisfied with your purchase? would you do so again given the chance?

I would also ask the same question of teams that own Tormach equipment (I know there are many). Are you happy?

Thanks in advance,

Martin.
