There was a coupon in Home Shop Machinist for $399 last year when I bought mine.
I don't think the taper type makes any real difference in this size of a mill unless you already have a bunch of tooling of one type or the other. There are lots of outfits selling both R8 and MT tooling/collets, etc..
