I would not buy a fancy tool holder right now. Obviously the Proxxon
people think what comes with the lathe is adequate. And if you use
that for a while you may see that it is good for the machining you
do.

Lathes used the lantern type of tool holder for about a hundred years
before the use of better tools, higher speeds and feeds required a
more rigid way to hold tools.
