Is there a particular reason you are thinking of going with a lathe over a mill? I know a lathe can also do milling operations, but I went with a benchtop mill because I really didn't see myself turning a lot of round stock. The idea of a lathe with a vertical x-y table just seemed sort of awkward to me.
