It's not a big deal. I just want my friend to know WTF he's getting into. He's very, very savvy, but going straight into 5th axis is a lot. It would be his only mill in his shop. (only CNC mill...)

Honestly above my skill level and probably pay grade unfortunately. We make a lot of serious high tolerance and fancy parts with what we got but, that's a whole other layer on top of what we do here.
Big money to spend too, just to potentially crash it 😂
We deal a lot with Methods Machine Tools, maybe a call to someone at a place like that would help lay out some better options and current info.
Thanks. I'll pass that along.
