Hi Laurent and Welcome on the IAP forum.
The lathes you're talking about, while both made in Taiwan, are sold by German shops. That means these lathes are quite unknown here.
Having read some comments the only thing I can personnally say is they both seem to be great machines sold at fair prices.
If you speak German, you can find a lot of information in German woodturners forums. A Google search with the keywords "Drechsler forums" should give you some interesting links.
If you understand French, some threads exist in the French forum "Les fous du bois" ( http://www.lesfousdubois.org/forum ). The Killinger lathe is older and some French colleagues have purchased it.
I also heard that Stefaan Maene is a Killinger reseller and has a demonstration lathe in his shop: http://www.capellemanmachines.be/
I hope this helps.
Christos.
