Default Which lathe would you choose?

In an Utopic situation where money, space and access were not issues, which
lathe would you choose? Assuming you would make a variety of thing ranging
from pens and related small spindles, bowls up to as much as 10 inches in
diameter, platters up to 12 inches in diameter, an occasional long spindle
(30 or so inches for table legs), hollow projects such as vases, humidors
and maybe even urns which lathe would be an all-around favorite. One-Way,
Jets models, Delta models, Vega, Vicmarc or others?

I have no ulterior motives here just curious what people would think.

Thanks and happy holidays to all and happy turning!

I have used only three brands so far--HF monotube, Delta and Nova DVR
XP. Of these I prefer the Nova. It does everything I need and does
it well. It is a great improvement over the Chevy Nova that I once owned.
