Bridgeport clone conversion

Hi all

I am trying to decide what to do, I have the chance to get a almost new Bridgeport 9 x 49 clone for free, my question is should I convert this to cnc or buy an IH, Novakon, Mikini or Tormach?

I have a converted HF mini mill right now that I converted myself using plans from Fignoggle. It works great, but I quickly out grew it in project size. My little hobby is developing into a moldmaking, prototype business. Not complaining, but I am constantly struggling with how to do something on the limited travels of my x2.

Just looking for some honest oppinions on what I should do.

Thanks
Walt
