A friend of mine has a similar machine and they do a better job than first appearance would suggest.
Just watch the max height dimension.
Imagine making a big hole in something.
First the centre drill then a couple of drills in a drill chuck then on to a few taper shank drills and then perhaps a boring head. Add in a vice on the table or a cylinder casting on parrallel strips and you can soon run out of height.
If you have several choices go for the one with the largest capacity.
