In search of milling machine

Looking for a milling machine, would prefer 220v and a dovetail style Z axis vs the column style. In a perfect world I'd like something around the size of a CX601 or slightly bigger but have the room for a full size mill if the right deal came along.

Will be my first real mill (have a mini mill, but it doesn't count). I have read that the dovetail style mills are a little more rigid and have better results, so ideally I'd like to get one in that style.

My budget is about 1500-1700, but would go up to 2000 if it had some tooling/a vise/collects etc as I wouldn't have to buy them!

I am located in B.C but willing to travel, if you have one you were thinking of liquidating please let me know!
 
Watch this site as I will be selling one of my knee mills... 3 BP clones is just (at least) one too many!
