Thanks for the food for thought. I can't afford to go in for much more than
the Taig at the moment, but perhaps I should wait until I can. I've
learned why having a real drill press is the way to go, even though 90% of
the jobs I do could have been done on my old, small one. It's probably the
same lesson here. Some day I'll need the extra capacity, so I should buy
the biggest machine I can possibly manage.

NO! Buy the Taig now and get some fun out of life, you will never
learn younger. Whatever you are able to afford by way of a larger
lathe in the future, I doubt that you will let the tiny lathe go as it
is so handy when you need that small part done "just so"
