Our best estimate for the CHIRON DZ 15 W is $400,000 - $600,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from CHIRON; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially.

Travel, tooling and speed. The basket tool changer version has 400 mm (15.7 in) of X, 425 mm (16.7 in) of Z, 2 x 12 tools and a 1.7 sec chip-to-chip time. The chain magazine version has 630 mm (24.8 in) of X, 360 mm (14.2 in) of Z, 2 x 24 or 2 x 32 tools and 2.6 sec chip-to-chip. Y travel is 400 mm (15.7 in) on both.
320 mm (12.6 in). Both spindles cut at the same time, so each part, its clamping and any tool reaching past it have to stay within that pitch. Check the fixture width against 320 mm before anything else.
SK-40 and HSK-A63 with the basket tool changer, and HSK-A63 only with the chain magazine. Speed options are 12,000 to 20,000 rpm on the basket version and 12,000 to 15,000 rpm on the chain version. Maximum torque is 90 to 180 Nm and 95 to 180 Nm respectively.
Basket tool changer: 65 mm (2.56 in) in diameter, 175 mm (6.9 in) with adjacent pockets empty, about 220 mm (8.7 in) long, 2.5 kg (5.5 lb). Chain magazine: 78 mm (3.07 in) in diameter, 140 mm (5.5 in) with adjacent pockets empty, 300 mm (11.8 in) long, 5.0 kg (11 lb).
The DZ 12S has 550 × 400 × 400 mm travels and spindles of 15,000 to 24,000 rpm with 29 to 59 Nm. The DZ 22W has 620 × 980 × 600 mm travels and 86 to 208 Nm on HSK-A63. The DZ 15 W offers up to 180 Nm, so in torque it is much closer to the larger machine while its Y travel of 400 mm (15.7 in) matches the smaller one.
