John,
The only thing that would put me off is the chuck mount which is a flange mount which makes changing chucks frequently a bit of a chore.
A Camlock spindle mount is (in my opinion) much better but, for that amount of cash, you'd be looking at a second hand machine and it probably wouldn't come with all the accessories.
Phil.
