Bridgeport would be a better route if intending to do metals only but if wanting to do wood then I would think a gantry style router would be the best option. It would also be able to do non-ferrous metals if built rigid enough but wouldn't be much use at steels/stainless etc.
Regarding the feeds and speeds you quoted, seems slow to me, I never use single flute cutters but even using one I would be expecting double that feedrate at least and much bigger DOC as well, then again it all boils down to the rigidity of the machine I suppose.
