The only concern I'd have with that mill is the 2" spindle travel. That's kind of limiting.
What type of projects to you expect to do with this mill? That might help us give more informed advise.
And don't worry about the amount of contributions. Contribute what and when you feel comfortable. There is no pressure to post here.

Hi Ed.
2" spindle travel shouldn't be a problem. This is mostly hobby, light work around the house usage. Some model engine work.
2" spindle travel doesn't preclude me from working deeper does it? I can always just lower the head, no?
My current mini mill doesn't have any spindle travel at all. It works fine but I'm looking for more x-y travel (along with more room under the head).
If it's crazy but it works, it's not crazy.
