Oooooh yeah! Congrats on the new toy. You're the first person I know of to get the Sweet 16.

Can I be your valentine?

I watched the video on the '16' and was impressed with the versatility.
The stamped steel legs bothered me a bit, especially on a high end item like this.
I would have liked for the demonstrator to, at least, run the motor for a few seconds and explain the speed control and such. The demo left a lot to wonder about.
The accessories are sure costly, things could add up very quickly.
 
Just appearance, they look it to me. Sure not heavy cast iron.
Neither are the legs on the Oneway lathes or the bigger Robust lathe, but I've not seen anyone who said they wish their Oneway had cast iron legs. ;) I suspect they are comparably heavy, and actually less flexible than the cast iron. The Robust and Oneway lathes are built with no expense spared (obviously, based on the price tag). I suspect if cast iron was a better material, it would have been used in these lathes. :)
