Please provide opinions (be gentle, now) as to which would be the
better advised purchase decision.

As described they sound all about the same. The v-belt vs flat
belt thing isn't a big deal. Either does the job fine.

What size are the spindles in the logans? Some of them were
5C collet capable, and that would be a big plus.

I would choose the lathe that you could inspect personally, and
was close to you. I would also choose the one that had the
best tooling that goes along with it.
