I don't know all prices offhand, but I think you can get a Optiv Classic for about that price, runs PC-DMIS, and can measure a whole lot more (you can add touch probe to it to). Not as good as a CMM in 3D (no rotating wrist) but kicks it in the 2.5D measurements (it can measure Z values at ok accuracy, XY at typical very good vision accuracy on well defined edges).
