My Emco Compact-8s have the 3 M8 nuts to hold chucks on to the flange - it does not have the rotating collar.
I find it fine - I don't change chucks that often (like, the ER-25 collet adapter has been on there for a year). Changing is pretty quick, but there is an art to getting the nuts threaded on - they are in tight quarters. The rotating collar is one that helps with this issue.
