well there is actually a difference between your and the one whe see in this thread yours is belt driven while this one is gear driven ,whats different is the following

belt driven
higher max speed - lower torque
gear driven
lower max speed - higher torque

gear driven milling are often noisier then its belt driven counter part

for aluminium there is not much of a difference between the two but in steel there would be a difference in performance
