I agree w/Normandy on the TCM pic. They are good machines plus a dealer that is 3 hours away mean your service bills will have 3 hours added just for travel time plus response time probably won't make you happy.
The idea of an electric for use in the machine shop is a good one, the will save you money in the long run but make certain you receive "good" instructions on proper battery charger care & charging procedures (most lift sales folks aren't aware of them but usual have a good batter/charger company that is good at it). Would suggest you look at a 3 wheel design electric - you'll enjoy a machine with a shorter turning radius (at least 10" shorter than the machines you are looking at) around the machines. Some makes have a pneumatic syle tire as standard and some makes have them available as an option.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
