The C6 lathe - the one that forms part of the M6 combination you linked, is sold by
Carbatec and
Hare and Forbes. Both places also sell the X2 mini-mill. Hare and Forbes also have the M6 combination.
You can also find these on eBay, seller ozmestore1 (where I got my mill) usually has the X2 mini-mill for sale and occasionally the C6. He also has the C3 lathe as does Carbatec.
Minitech in Queensland are Sieg importers and carry some of the Sieg range.
For the difference in price/weight, I'd suggest the C6. It can handle a bigger work piece but still do the smaller stuff.
Somethig to bear in mind is that the X2 mini-mill is very simple to convert to full CNC operation for about the cost of the mill itself. You can go into production making astronomy accessories for IIS members
