...The thing im looking for here is something like a .1mm layer thickness and a half decent surface finish...
...again with the disclaimer on this I am prepared to do plenty of surface work on my prints....

well I'm used to tinkering, I build RC planes and multiroters every weekend.
i just want to be sure i can get it to work reliably, im not really looking to make massive parts. i just want to be sure i can create something of relative quality to say an ultimaker...
I was looking at getting a prusa i3 at first but the idea that the ormerod will be the platform that is likely to be most future friendly is what has made me look into the ormerod.
The reason i ask is that i am obviously about to invest a lot of time and money in something i just want to be able to make the best informed choice.
so as it stands now, if i am concerned only with the finished quality of my prints is the ormerod a good printer?

ha, yeah that was one of the things i was looking forwards to. was even thinking of designing an FPV headset and printing it on there. but thats an ambitious project for a later date.
well as to the finish i would probably end up getting the finish by hand and then casting the prints for resin. that would be the plan i think.. i just want to know that i CAN get the prints to a relatively fine state.. thats what matters.
