The Ultimaker should get a heated bed upgrade option, we've seen the prototypes in the Ultimaker HQ. There might be a fab-lab near in in Eindhoven that has an Ultimaker.
The heated bed option is being prototyped, but the problem was the heating itself and the time it took to get the correct heat. You wont need with with PLA.
Currently I got prints with 0.025mm layers using experimental software, but I think that if you use netfabb you can even get lower than that...

Hello fellow dutchguy!
The Orca is a RepRap machine as far as I can see? Unless you don't mean this one:

What I've seen from RapRap machines is that they look unstable, and take a look of time to tweak for usable results.
The RepMan looks like a crossover between an early RepRap (Darwin) and an Ultimaker.
From personal experience, from unboxing to first print took me 8 hours with the Ultimaker. Community support is good. But currently has some lead time issues (hopefully solved soon)

As for finding someone with an Ultimaker, mine is in Amersfoort. But check the fab-labs. There might be a fab-lab near in in Eindhoven that has an Ultimaker.
