Any ideas about upcoming Kickstarter 5-Axis machines? (Topfab and Xhorse3D)
I have been following Xhorse3D WM-100 for a long time:

However, now I've just realised there is also Topfab TF500:

Advertisement materials of both devices look suspiciously similar.
Topfab has a comparison chart that clearly compares itself with Xhorse3D and claims it is much better.
Topfab is half the weight of Xhorse3D, which may effect rigidity.
None of them have any reviews yet. Both of them look too good to be true. Both have demo videos and everything looks good:

Identical prices:

Anybody have any idea how they compare? Are there anyone thinking about funding any of these? Will be grateful to hear any of your opinions.
