Default Lathe

Evenin folks I've been lurkin for a few months and this looks like the place
I can ask a newby question without too much flack. What is the best lathe
for under 1,000.00 to start with? I've looked at jet and delta and read some
bad reviews on both. ( some good ones too ) as for use I might want to turn
pens, bowls, table legs etc so I want something heavy and that can handle
around 40" length, but still be precise enough for small light work?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
John
