What sort of woodworking projects do you want to make?
What is your budget?
Our machines range from the SO4 Standard size (belt-drive XY, lead-screw Z, 16"x16" working area) through the SO5 Pro 4x4 (ball-screws all-around and 4’x4’ working area), with the option of the Nomad 3 (lead-screws all-around, 8" x 8" x 3"), but what one machine can do, another can, w/in reason and patience — just you trade the expense of the machine against how fast it can cut, and the need for some preparation such as calibration.
The Shapeoko Pro is basically an SO4 w/ linear rails (some refer to it as an SO4 Pro), so it trades Delrin V wheels for linear bearing blocks which have to be lubricated.
The Shapeoko 5 Pro goes to linear rails and ball-screws on all axes (note that it is possible to put a ball-screw HDZ on our other machines).
Linear rails and ball-screws have the advantages of being more rigid and allowing finer steps in motion for better precision/accuracy.
That said, I make similar projects on my SO3 as my SO5 Pro — it just goes faster on the latter, and no calibration was necessary.
