Are these lathes THAT much better than the typical $2000 Taiwan-made

No.

Not that much better, but at least twice as good.
Saw one go at auction in Fergus Ontario area a few weeks ago for $2800
Canadian - sold new in 1992, and virtually unused. If I didn't already
have an older one at home in the garage he would not have gotten it so
cheap.
Paid $1500 Canadian for mine about 5 years ago and figure I got a
bargain.
