I called and talked to Matt this morning after sleeping on it and I decided to return the PM-25MV for a full refund and order the PM-728V-T without the DRO.
It should be here toward the end of next week. I'll then put the PM-25 mill onto the pallet that the PM-728 is shipped on, per Matt's suggestion, and it will ship back to Precision Matthews. After pricing the cost of 1/4" plywood needed to reconstruct the crate for the PM-25, that saves me a bunch of money. That's if I could find plywood down here. It's getting scarce.
