sieg x2 or x3?

Hey guys, I am looking at starting a prototype for a idea my father and I have had for a while. It wil be out of 60-61 and around 19"x2.5"x2" My startup costs including tooling cant exceed 1k so please help on your opinions. Most tooling "endmills and such" will be free from my uncle as he sold his mill a while back and has some stuff he said he woud give me.

I am looking at a x2 or a x3, but more at the x2 as it can be converted easily to cnc and dro and belt drive in the future but for now I will just need something with repeatability and strong enough to mill 60-61 without taking a year for single pass with a 3/8 endmill. And if this works then i plan to purchace a cnc jr or farm it out so this wont be the mill to end all mills in my shop so to speak. Thanks for your time!
