I've had a floor stand and bench model HF.

For most stuff, bench is okay. Floor stand doesn't have much larger shop footprint, but can give extra throat and drilling reach. Probably one of the best tool/floorspace ratios I can think of (compared to planer/table saw/ etc) I think floor model has larger chuck diameter. Both worked okay. Only complaint would be the clamps (press vice) that hold pieces still. They are pretty rudimentary, and not precise enough to do any milling to any real accuracy. I do enjoy the control the presses give over choosing different pulley combos to determine drill speed. I like to really slow the bit down on metal. Nice long curly fries of metal shaving off. Cool smoke coming from the cutting oil. Makes life nice.
