I have a CAT 216B with the backhoe attachment and two dig buckets. Also the forks, bucket, and other stuff I've built for specific work I do (specialty demolition).
I'd rent or get the manufacture to do a show and tell. I still rent a bit of equipment. All will depend on what you want to do with it. I have very little experience with other fancy equipment like you posted. I've used a dingo a few times. That's really lightweight. Almost a toy. The 216 is the smallest piece of equipment I own. Everything else is JD710K and bigger.

I love the Dingo and MT55 when the job is right for them.
I did a pool deck demo two years ago, I had to go up a hill and through 3 gates after going through a 40" alleyway.
Permanent fencing on each side....access sucked. We demo'd 5 yards of concrete, took it out and loaded it, and brought in new base and concrete all with the dingo.
The hill was so nasty I couldn't even use a concrete buggy, it just spun out the whole time.
The help put some walking miles on, but it beat the hell out of doing it all by hand. They do suck for big jobs though, it will work, but they are pretty limited, although the hydraulic hammer is handy, a lot easier on the back than an air hammer.
