I'm kind of biased because I have two of them. One is over 20 years old and one is 2 years old. Take a look at Northwood Machine. They just get better and better. I'd put them up against anybody for reliability, service, and support. I've had European machines in the past. They will stay in my past. Good luck!

Why do you want a 5 axis for nesting? You will be carving the hardwood? Better price your software before buying a 5 axis machine.

The reason I want 5 axis with flat table is that I can do both with just one machine nesting and carving or machining hardwood raised on pods like doors or stairs railing or table legs ect..

You don't need a 5-axis machine for door edges etc. You just put an aggregate head on the spindle and you can come in from any direction except upward.
You will need some sort of pod hold down system in addition to the spoil board though. I'd suggest some more research on your options.
