a General 160 (made in Quebec) for the larger projects.
Has anyone here any recommendations?

Electric Comet is right, "What size are you looking for?" Since you have a General 160, a 10" mini just might fill the bill. BUT make sure the headstock and tailstock are #2 Morse taper AND the headstock has a 1x8 thread pattern. That way you will be able to use your chucks on both lathes.
