As an ardent hwe person  ::) ;) I would probably go for an LM system, possibly the most cost effective way would be numactic rotary and bonnet. :'(

Is the £1500 your total investment? If so, remember to budget for other necessary items.

Stephen,

Look at buying a second hand machine, you'll get a better machine for your money. All machines use similar internal components so replacements are readily available if needed.

I bought a new low powered machine when i first started but my last 3 gradually more powerfull machines have been second hand. Go for the best spec. machine you can afford without leaving yourself short!

There are normally a few for sale on here, ebay and other forums.

Kind regards,
Jason.
