Default time to buy a lathe

I'm in need of upgrading my big lathe...

"The Kid" volunteered to take the old one, so at least I have room.

I used a leblond servo shift many years ago and loved it. here's a

I'll go look at lathes this week, may find a few more. I'm only buying
in the MN area because I can look at it and pick it up, no truck
expense. Anybody have comments or comparisons on these two lathe
models? Any special problems to look for?
