Taig/Peatol or Moseley lathe?

[markr]

I have a Moseley 8mm lathe that I just sent to be re-plated with the accessories in the photo.  I also have a sewing machine motor with pedal for it.  I would need to mount the whole thing.  Last spring I got  a Taig lathe at a yard sale for $40. It seams to be running fine.  I don't think I'll be making too many small parts but I do need to modify a stem.  I'm thinking of selling the Mosely and keeping the Taig mostly because I think the Taig would be easier to use.  Is there any reason I should keep the  Mosely besides it would look cool?

I also have a Mosely and a Taig lathe. The Taig is my "big" lathe. I use that one mostly for tool making. The Moseley I use to actually make watch parts like balance staffs and screws. IMO, its best to have both lathes. The Taig is acceptable for making some tools, but it has too much run out for turning a balance staff. I think mine has 0.15mm with the 3-jaw. And that's after I re-ground the surface of the jaws. The collets you can get from them are pretty good, but very limited in size. I ordered mine without the motor, and put an adjustable speed industrial sewing machine motor on it, and bypassed the foot switch. I have a pretty large range of speed now, from I think 200rpm up to 4500rpm. I haven't taken it past 1200 or so. Keep both I'd say
