Which mini mill??

I am planning to buy a SIEG SX2 milling machine. I've read and digested advice with regard to buy as big as you can, what will it be used for etc and have made my decision based upon, limited space and planned use in the near/forseeable future. It seems that the resale market for these is reasonable and hopefully accecories that I buy will be transferrable. I have looked at two suppliers, Axminster and Arc and I see one main difference. The Arc SX2 Super has a larger table with more travel and a fixed column. The Axminster SX2 has a smaller table with a column that tilts 45 degrees. My question is which is the better solution? what is the value of a tiliting column? Sorry that's two questions! I'm sure which ever one I go for at some stage I will wish I'd picked the other, but which one will cause me to tell myself this less?

Advice please

I would go for the one with the bigger table and fixed column.

My Mill has a tilting column, but I have never used it , I tilt the work or use a tilting vice if needed. (I just don't want the hassle of resetting the column to ensure it is flat everytime.)

I've got a Chester Champion with a tilting head. If I had a tramming device I would tilt the head but will refrain from doing so until I have one. As Steambuff says the hassle of getting it back true doesn't warrant it without a tramming tool to speed the process up. After tramming it up after I bought it I've never touched it !

(I plan to build a tramming device to Bogstandard's design - see Madmodder.net)
