Hi Mat au,
Guilio Marolongo, used one at the last WWw Wood Show in Melb. You could ask him.
So what is wrong with the VL 175, or VL 300 by Vicmarc.
Most likely a bit more money, is the Omega Stubby.
Then you also have the big Woodfast, big Jet as well.

That is one nice looking lathe!! Bet it doesn't come cheap.
Can't help you out with any feedback, but wouldn't mind owning one though.

might want to look back here - one was reviewed last year and there are few comments from the review
