Ben,
When I look at the list of features of the CNC Plus versus, CNC professional, quite frankly, I think you should upgrade to Professional, asap.
The critical features, I believe that a serious user will want are these:
G&M codes user definable
Smartpath option
Fastmode
Dynamic look ahead
There are others, as well.
The first one I listed, G&M codes user definable is quite critical, I believe. Without direct access to the logic that executes when M or G codes are executed, I believe you will find yourself extremely handicapped to tweak performance of your machine, and make it do what you want it to do. I speak from experience.
The real reason to upgrade to a Camsoft cnc, in my opinion, is so that you can run short segment 3d code smoothly. Some of those other features I listed above are well worth having, in order to accomplish this.
