Default Small mill advice

Would like to buy a small hobby mill. Think grizzly might be good as to
parts availability. Price is not a limiting factor to some degree. What
does limit me is size and weight as I want to put it in my basement which is
not too large and I really don't want to move excessive weight. I am a
complete beginner so I was looking at the grizzly models G8689 and G0517 at
http://www.grizzly.com/products/item...010&sort=price .
These both seem to be manageable from size/weight perspective. I notice the
smaller one supposedly has more Horsepower. Any suggestions or other
options? Would these be powerful enough to actually mill steel? Any other
suggestions.

Thanks

Barry
