A 2.2Kw spindle is smaller, has more power, and maintains a consistent rpm better. Easier to control rpm with software. Price is the only disadvantage, but if it lasts twice as long, the price is actually an advantage. (Assuming you go with a chinese model, as name brand spindles are much more like 3-5 times more money)
