Lathes

[SeanMP]

So knowing what you do now, what lathe would you guys purchase if you were to get one now? Links and pics appreciated of course!

If I was willing to wait I would cruise Crown assets and school disposal.

If I wanted instant gratification I would head straight for Busy Bee.....hopefully buying a model that happened to be on sale. You can't beat sheer mass when it comes to engine lathes and the Chinese use lots of cast iron.
