I'm looking at those exact same two myself,
I'm leaning towards the Micro-Mark but they are both nearly identical.
The Proxxon comes with a set of collets and the chuck is sold separatly, Proxxon 85Watt, 3 speed pulley and 1800, 4700, 8500 rpm and runs $214 US
http://www.minicrafttools.com/38128.html Micro-Mark comes with a 3 jaw chuck, 90Watt, 3 speed pully 2100, 4500, 6500 rpm and $193.65
http://www.micromark.com/MicroLux-3-Speed-Mini-Drill-Press,7797.htmlIf you subscribe to Micro-Mark newsletter they have email sale flyers sent out fairly often, just recently they had their variable speed model on sale about 10% off
I want the smaller drill press though mainly for my limited space requirements.
