Been sawing with our family's wood-mizer since we bought it new in 1984, and it's still going strong. I have, however, had a fair amount of experience with some of the cheaper mills from helping various friends saw. The big things you're gaining with a better mill are fairly obvious--time and labor savings. Pushing a manual mill through logs, lifting green boards and slabs up to pile them, and moving large logs around by hand is WORK, and takes longer in the bargain.

Only you can decide whether the additional labor is worth the cost savings, but most people quickly find out their time and labor justify a higher level of automation and mechanization than the low-end mills provide.
