Default Jet vs Delta 14" lathe

I have been using the Jet mini lathe for the past year and have now decided to step up to a 14" lathe. I like both the Delta and Jet and am having a very difficult time deciding between the two. It appears that the additional cost of the Jet is primarily due to the cast iron legs. I don't particularly like the motor location on the Jet, but it does have some features that the Delta does not. Can someone give me pros and cons and any experience you can share?
