Hardinge Hlv-h 11" X 18" W/ Newall New Dro - Hlvh

If money were no issue would you have a HARDINGE HLV-H 11" x 18" HLVH as your only lathe?

I'm a hobby machinist at best. I have a Granite 1324 Chinese POS.

So I can afford to buy a 1964 model that looks real nice. Kind of kismet as I was manufactured in 1964 as well.

Thoughts?
