I have a couple smaller mills, X2 clone that is getting cnc'd, a small horizontal Benchmaster and a Clausing 8520. The Clausing is a fantastic mill for the hobbyist but not really easy to find. The X2 is a good little mill (some better than others) but like Mike says buy the biggest you can afford and fit in your shop. The 8520 does everything I need a mill to do, the other two are just part of my metal illness.

If I was to buy the X2 again I would go with the Little Machine Shop version, it seems to be the best bang for the buck from what I can tell.
