I have one friend who has MACH3 on both machines and also a licensed copy of MACH4 that he hasn't bothered using since MACH3 does what he wants. He builds parts for high performance drag racers and other things. I showed him the LinuxCNC install. He wasn't interested at all since what he has works with what Fusion360 generates.
