Want to here some feedback from anyone who has run one, looks like a lot of machine for the money. Good, bad or ugly: I am all ears.

Is there much $ difference between the PCV and MCV-400?
Wrustle seems fairly happy with his MCV and from the pics and specs it looks like a pretty decent machine.
Jashley73, I did not go to open house, but I did go there yesterday to see the one on the floor. They pushed it harder in the demo than I would ever push my machines(which I guess might be normal for a demo?). It took it easy enough, solid and very quite machine. Direct drive spindle at 10k was the quietest I have ever heard.
Did you design the spiral cut demo part? Looked like a 10mm em full slotting at 2 or maybe even 2.5D, no shudder at all in the machine and the endmill was well past dull. I kept waiting for it to blow or a spindle overload alarm, but it just purred on. Plenty of balls for what I do. I am getting clogged up with 3d parts that run for hours. If I get one, I am going to get the high speed options for 400 block look ahead, which is tops for this machine. I am making a living with my 20 block Aicc so I got nowhere to go but up
There seems to be a lot of difference between the MCV and the PCV, and I was quoted a bit more than 24K for the difference. If my budget was that high I would step up a hair and get a Genos, I think. Anyway, looked good but still shopping.
I believe the MCV was a bigger machine.
