Your question is incomplete. you need to give the expected cash flow details for each of the machine in question. There has to be a reason for such a huge difference in prices of these machines considering they are for same purpose.
If no further details are available, it makes sense to go with the 2nd machine as your immediate cash outflow is lesser.
