Default HLV-H, decent first lathe?

Is a Hardinge HLV-H lathe a special purpose lathe, or is it a good candidate for
general home shop tasks?

I know Gunner likes them, but I am not sure what features they do/don't have
that other lathes do.

For one thing, it doesn't look like the tailstock has any adjustment for taper
turning...

Thanks,

Rick
