If you are looking into investing into a lathe we (675) have a Grizzly Lathe, and we are always having problems with it, probably because it is low-end and made in China. It seems as if it is broken and needing to be fixed every other month or so. I would recommend getting a lathe because of the advantages of having one, but I would get one from a different brand.
