Actually, a Laser is no more costly than a CNC. The both require the same software to operate, and some of it is free to use. The Laser and CNC are really nothing more than a fancy printer, it's the software to create the parts that is the killer. I am still researching this part, pretty much already decided that an 80W 20 x 28 is the one to get.
My Rascal 168 was CNC cut, and while the pieces fit together, it still required far more sanding than any laser cut one I ever built. The thing about router cutting is inside square corners are impossible, so they have to be sanded square. The carbon wipes off with a finger, no sanding needed. My B-25 and P-61 cuts are all laser cut too. The parts are only as accurate as the plans.
Here is a 16 x 16 bed 50W cutter that can do the majority of parts for .60 size planes,

Since I will be doing parts for 1/8th scale and larger, I will need one like this,

Either one uses the same software.
Here is a CNC that is large enough to do the same thing.
