For this purpose, does a band saw work better than a mill?

I cut the tvp out in about 2 mins with the bandsaw. Only areas I filed were the rounded corners and the small slots that line up with the skidplates. With the correct tension I can cut circles with the bandsaw, maybe as small as 6". So most curves and odd shapes can be cut with ease. The bandsaw is not as versatile as a mill, but for quickly cutting flat stuff it is very useful. I also cut plastic on it, and have modded parts and cut trays out of chassis with it. It is very controllable as you can use both hands to move and hold the material.
