I'm looking to purchase my first CNC Lathe and have narrowed it down to the iKC4. Since I'm not experienced with Metal CNC I'm a bit concerned that the Sieg control software might not be sufficient.

I have no idea what it's like and if it will work well. Additionally, there is no reference material online about using the software whereas Siemens there are plenty of online tutorials and probably a larger community. It would be a no brainer but the SIEMENS system is 3k more expensive.

I'm just looking for some opinions if I should just pay the extra. Or if anyone has experience with the SIEG control system. I imagine that the SIEG software is probably getting better since the Chinese CNCs are getting more popular but there is probably no support to be had.

Thanks
