Well worth spending the extra money and buying the best quality version IMHO.
The other day my father mentioned a website for a tool (like a 3D pantograph) that scales up objects and reproduces them using in wood using a router but I've not been able to find any more info on it so far.
One of my tricks to re-scale a part is to scan the object (in various elevations) and then output the scans at what ever scale change is required - it's an easy way to get important dimensions quickly without having reach for the calculator.
