] I have got it narrowed down to three lathes, but from there I am stumped and just watching prices and see where they go.

Andy.... I know this sounds crazy ... and maybe it is .. but listen to this little story. Early this past summer I started looking on line for a new lathe. I read reviews and talked with people. Moola was a BIG factor. I narrowed it down to 2 or 3. The Delta 46-715 was one of them.
Well, every day ... I mean EVERYDAY for about three weeks, I went to Amazon and checked the price of the Delta 46-715. Every day it was the same price ... $599.00. Then, one day, after about three weeks of checking .. the Amazon price suddenly dipped down to $246. I am serious! I could hardly believe my eyes.
I didn't lollygag around and didn't waste time trying to decide what to do. I immediately bought it. The next day it was back up to 599.
Now, here is what I thought happened ... and this may be just me being a little crazy .... but I often wondered if Amazon's database had a record of me searching every day for that Delta. I just wonder if their computer was programmed to suddenly drop the price after I kept going back to their website for so long. I know it sounds crazy. But, it's just a hunch.
Good luck with your search.
