Our best estimate for the Brother TC-S2C is $65,000 - $95,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from Brother Industries; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

On Brother's figures the travels, spindle, 14-tool magazine and 50 m/min rapids are the same. The footprint differs: the TC-S2D takes 1,080 × 2,540 mm (42.5 × 100 in), while the TC-S2C needs 1,180 × 2,917 mm (46.5 × 114.8 in).
The TC-R2B has 420 x 320 x 305 mm (16.5 x 12.6 x 12 in) of travel with the same 10,000 rpm spindle (16,000 rpm optional), 14 tools and 50 m/min rapids. The TC-S2C trades X for Y, with 300 x 400 x 300 mm (11.8 x 15.7 x 11.8 in).
