Looking to buy a swiss machine in the near future. Looking to talk to a few people and see what they're running, how they like it, etc.

I've been pretty well relegated to programming 4 axis, the machines I am looking at are 11, and can run 2-3 tools simultaneously. Curious as to how difficult it is to program these.
 
Doosan sells some multi spindle, live tooling in small and large sizes. I have worked on some of the 7 axis machines.

Actually have my eye on a Doosan DNM 500 II 15K rpm spindle milling center right now. My Doosan rep gave me a damn good price on it. I know they have some mill/turn stuff, but nothing like the Index.

Offer was accepted on 8 acres for a new shop the other day. Soon as we close on that, we're going to get started on putting a new shop up, and getting some new equiptment in there.
