Tough decision but I am leaning torwards the lathe slightly. 237 normally has 2 lathes running every build night plus 1 Bridgeport mill, and even two at times. We custom build alot of our parts though.
If you use the kit bot parts mostly then the mill isn't likely to be in as much demand.

Don, how does your team handle making custom brackets and such? Bandsaw and file/grind? I'm just curious as this is the first time I've heard of a team having the ability to mill and not taking advantage of it.
