hi there
ive been looking for a decent second hand lathe as a home shop toy for months now and there just isnt anything here in Adelaide so im thinking about getting something new. there are 3 locally that i think are worth looking at but wanted to know if im missing something obvious.

first up is an $1600 ebay special. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/391956807421
notable features: comes with stand, 20mm bore 550 centres, 240kg

candidate 2 $1595 http://www.assetplant.com/epages/sho...cts/12-0102DRO
notable features: DRO which is nice, no stand, 20mm bore, 500 centres, only 135kg

and frankly the one im leaning towards, $2k paramounts https://www.paramountbrowns.com.au/p...tand-610mm-bc/
features: stand, 25mm bore, 610 centres, 258kg

or is there something else in the price/features range? i have had a look at other interstate options but not really seen anything that matches up considering the costs of freight added on top. if im wrong id obviously be happy to take another look
cheers
Dan
