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!

If space was not an issue, the new PowerMatic 4424B wit the big bed
extension, the provides 8+ ft between centers

If space is an issue it would be the Robust American Beauty
