Damn straight. A proven design that has lasted the years. You cannot go wrong with a bridegport CNC mill or manual. The great thing is that the head on all is interchangeable. Just be careful on the used machinery and make sure the ways are not going out as at that point it's better to just replace the machine.
Most of the cheaper machines can only handle small jobs and do not have good duty ratings. I looked into everything I could several years ago for my machine shop I managed and it always came back to bridgeport. I found some nice deals on 5-10 year old cnc machines.
