Have been turning for 60 years there are more lathes manufactures and models out there than you can count, my advice is to buy the biggest and heaviest one you can’t afford or you’ll regret it. For me my go to lathe is a Powermatic 4224B could’d be happier as there's nothing it can’t turn big or small it also has a built in vacuum chuck system and indexing. Mass is critical if your turning anything bigger than spindles. Some fellow club members have reported issues with Laguna electronics as has the local Woodcraft that sells them.
Have a Jet 1220 VS with stand I’m will to sell for a reasonable price with many accessories I used to take on the road for demos but I no longer do that.
