What's your familiarity with these animals?
If you are inclined you certainly can save some money and build it yourself and get a lot bigger X-Y table. There are varying levels of complexity, ranging from "kits" to buying all the pieces separately. However if you're not inclined to to the hobby-building thing, you can still get some off-the-shelf ones for less than $2500 (CNC-Shark, etc.).
I renovated an old Isel; 2.5D, meaning it's a 2D router with some Z movement. I am using a Hobby CNC board (they're still around, BTW), but given the funds would certainly have gone with Gecko controllers and when I burn the controller out, I'll just switch. But, that's the only regret I have in my build so far.
When shopping, the biggest deal is checking out the software chain it uses and is compatible with. Mine goes: AutoDesk Inventor; AutoDesk CAM; Mach 3. I'm a neophyte with Inventor, however. Mach 3 seems to be pretty dang easy for everything it does and the price. A lot of the of-the-shelf, complete CNC routers use proprietary software. Using Mach 3 to control it (or similar general-controller software), opens up the types of files and custom drawings you can do. Some of the custom controller software might import vector files. This is what I'd look for.

What drawing software are you using?
