From what I have been told, the 3 in ones do everything, but not any one thing very well. Plus you will hate switching from mill to lathe and back all the time. A lot of time is spent in setup, and it's no fun to have to switch back and forth and have to do you setup over and over.
I am thinking that having seperate machines is the way to go (and it's the way I went)
But, I don't own one, so don't take my word for it.
