I see from the specs that the Big Dog Mini Mill is about 50 pounds less than the Grizzly 0704 and over $400 less. This seems to be a nice step up from the X2 minimill at just a few hundred more. I don't think I've seen any other vendors carry a mill in this size and price range.

I will have to look into that mill.
I noticed a lot of focus on weight in this thread. One option that can be considered is disassembly of a mill to allow moving it into a shop. Considering the need to clean up these mills it isn't as bad of an idea as some may think. However if one is to do such a disassembly they should have the correct tooling to aid in reassembly. The nice thing about a mill is that the weight is spread ou a bit better than on a lathe. With a lathe you could disassemble it and still have a massive chunk of iron on your hands.
