Yep they are great----I also like my Index mill-similar machine but has power feed on all 3 axis-----only dislike is that it uses a B&S #9 spindle where my Bridgeport has the common type.
Did have 3 Bridgeports but sold off 2 of them when I moved my shop home-Now 1 Bridgeport + 1 Index.
Having 3 of the Bridgeports allowed me to use common tooling fro all three----could leave the heads set at an angle for head/manifold stuff and use another one to do something else like drill angle holes for main caps, etc,etc
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
