Nice machine indeed!
You'll finally be able to run high feed mills and see what MRR (material removal rates) really can be. Also, you can now have enough power to really plow through aluminum at high speeds. The limitations of 7500 rpm and 40ipm feeds has been a big impediment to productivity for you. Of course the reprogramming of repeat jobs will hurt a little bit, but payback will be super quick.
Update the payout to reflect the larger size of the machine?
