Stay away from them both. They don't have enough Y travel. Once you put the vise on your going to be out of room. You should get one with at least 6" of Y travel (they seem to call it cross travel) which is 152.4mm.
I take it that's the 'forward and backward' direction, not side to side. Would'nt that be more important on a CNC mill? where you want to mill both directions in one 'programming pass'?. With a hand mill you can just turn the piece around and use the side to side directions instead no?...
