    AFAIK the 0 is still the cheapest, I have not used the 0i series, however.
    Mitsubishi is very close in operation and it would not take you much to cross over to a similar make as this.
    But generally Fanuc is not cheap to the Retro-Fitter.

    There is a inexpensive Controller Software "ZeusCNC" that is based on Fanuc.
    The interface is a bit different but easy to pick up if you have Fanuc experience.
    If you are talking about the complete Hardware and Software from Fanuc yes I think that would be expensive and most of all probably not compatible with your "Step and Direction" Drivers.

    Other than that I would love to have one of those Controllers too.
    Good Luck
