I love this sort of thing. A new "clean slate" and the first page of a new chapter. I can't wait to see the new place!
Dave, in order that we might give an informed opinion of what you should have in your new lab (and where), is there any chance you could show us the floor plan? The sales PDF might do, but I understand if you want to keep some details private. Someone could probably convert it into Sketch Up format and we can have a bit of fun placing benches, power, lighting etc. I can do it in 3DStudio Max, but that is probably a bit of overkill...
Regarding Makerbots/Repraps: Is it only me who can see the Emperor's New Clothes? After viewing many YouTube videos, the resolution is horrible, they are clunky and slow, and just can't compare with a 5-axis (and in many cases a 3 axis) miller.
