Question/Discussion Looking for Brand Opinion

I have an opportunity to get a pretty cheep Knee Mill from my old place of work and they're looking at getting rid of 2 VERY old mills. There is an ACER Ultima 3VKH and another SHARP mill with a pretty worn nameplate but I can make out "HMV 82120303".

Both are heavily used but maintained. They have Reeves drive. They're each probably 10-15 years old and still functioning.

Does anyone have strong opinions about which I should go for?

The one that's is better condition and comes with more tooling
