Bryan,
I cant comment on the specific new models you listed but I came from a Holz Her Cosmec Conquest 510. I want to share with you a piece of my experience and I would be very interested in yours. We installed our Cosmec in 2001 and were one of the first in our area with CNC. The Cosmec performed exceptionally well for our shops needs. As you are aware with the infrastructure that makes up this piece of equipment over time it started showing its "character" more and more. My experience with service from this manufacturer (yes on this now 18 year old machine**) has been under what I expect as a minimum, and that's been the case from day one.
2 years ago we started planning for a replacement for the Cosmec. I ranked service at the top of my priorities as we like to get our use/years/life out of a piece of equipment before replacing. I contacted Holz Her and was ashamed at how new buyers are tallied and how difficult it is to get information, hands on, site visits from representatives etc. It left me with a terrible taste of the Holz Her brand. (Holz Her sold Cosmec early on, Im not sure if you were aware) I looked at all the big boys. In fall of 2018 I took delivery of my Biesse Rover A 5x10. I was able to go to the manufacturer in the US for free, I had multiple site visits from reps and offers for process/logistic as well as assistance with selling my current CNC. But above all else, now that I am up and running. Withing minutes typically, I get a call back and live remote assistance with issues or as simple as silly questions. Belive me, I have plenty of "what does this button do level questions" and this service team exceeds what I would expect out of them every time. I encourage you to visit the US headquarters of any manufacturer you are interested in.
A lot comes down to information and knowledge. You may simply not know what you don't know. I had a great local Biesse rep, of course a salesmen for equipment also but the actual Biesse rep was tremendously helpful as he had resources available that I would never have access to.
Overall my experience with the green has been phenomenal. Their Bsolid software (which was another on site product specific training) is awesome, the way it integrates with CV is awesome, the precision of the machine and cycle time engineering is awesome. I am a very happy camper. Please reach out if there is anything I can help you with. I still have resources if your looking to move the Cosmec.
