Ok, prepare to be bored by some annoying logic.
Unless linc is looking to make turbine shafts, the larger equipment is not of much use to him. A combo machine will do the job of 3 and take up the space of one. CNC stuff is great, but for getting a feel for things, you actually need to feel it. You need the mechanical connection to the work, some real feedback. Starting with an NC could be quite dangerous, if not to the operator, then to the machine itself. And for one-off jobs, I certainly wouldn't want to program anything, that defeats the purpose.
Used equipment is a gamble, you may get a good one, or you may get one that's looser than Pamela Anderson on an average Saturday..
For spot cooling, Koolmist units are the cat's ass.
We are talking about hobby-to-intermediate level, which is why I recommended the Grizzly units. Their prices on tooling and accessories is also very reasonable, and they would have at least 95% of it in house. One stop shopping!

Your exactly right on that - we often get caught up in wha tis the best versus what will do the job.
