My woodturning club, here in northern Arkansas, has a member who lives in Florida.
Oh, well. He likes us and comes for meetings a few times a year.
Not long ago he received one of the new Grizzly G0733 lathes.

It is a bigger and badder version of my G0632 with EVS.
It looks like the lawyers have invaded the design department.
He says that every time he turns off the power, as in checking his work, it automatically resets to zero RPM and he must redial back to where he was.
IMHO, that defeats the convenience of the (expensive) EVS.
From now on, when shopping for a new lathe customers should ask if the proposed purchase has this undesirable feature.
