I'm sitting here at work with nothing to do (other than work), and I'm wondering what can a Deckel practically do that a Bridgeport cannot?

I understand that having the x not on the y is a superior setup for the Deckel so it wins there.

Are the spindles of a 2nd hand model Deckel you are likely to get really that superior to a Bridgeport spindle?

I've noticed Robin Renzetti, master of all things to do with accuracy, uses a Bridgeport himself.
