My toy in Canada was an old Excello, it was roughly the same as a Bridgeport from the 70's, great machine but not practical for 'home' use. I agree that for serious work you need something solid, but then again, at that price I don't think it would be realistic to expect that degree of stability, this clearly looks to be designed for very light duty, steppers not servos, little belts driving the spindle, lots of aluminum.
I also had a big Cincinatti wheel mill, that thing was stable. And so heavy that we never even bothered bolting it to the floor.
