The project will/would be very lucrative and we can't afford the time or risk of trying to piece meal a pre-owned setup together. The machine really needs to hit the floor running.

In that case Haas. Pick a model, agree on a price, then have them make samples for you as a condition of issuing a PO. That will verify tolerances, tools, and cycle time. You should be present for the run.
I guess cash flow prevents you from buying outright?
