what was your old lathe?

I used a grizzly for more than a year but started seriously looked for 6
months before settling on the DVR.

I could have gotten a bigger lathe but I needed to keep some portability.

The DVR fit several needs such as size, power, speed controls and price
range. When I describe
the speed control to anyone not familiar with the DVR their eyes open
wide. Contolling the rpm
in 5 rpm increments from 100 rpm to the top speed of the lathe and
getting a digital read out of the
speed is something that not many have on their lathes.

I've turned bowls as large as 15 inches wide and 9 inches deep (roughed
out) that started as 50
pound chunks and I've turned little one inch by one inch bowls while
playing with cuttoffs

I am in the market for new lathe and I am seriously considering a Nova DVR
3000 lathe. I haven't seen one personally and don't know anyone who owns
one. What does everyone who owns or has used this lathe think about it?
Are there any accessories that should be purchased with the lathe? Thanks.
