I was looking at a metal lathe in Canada and came across this one. The price would be close to Matt's at PM (it is on sale right now) so with dollar value and all considered it would be comparable in price if not cheaper. I was curious since I know little to nothing about metal lathes and want to get into machining. Here is a link from Garant Machinerie in Quebec.

For me there is not many differences on the outside. I saw the emergency stop button is a bit different on the top. But overall they look like almost mirror images of each other. I was curious what you guys think? Since if I pick it up I would likely just use everything online refering to the PM 1127 machine to get it set up and going. I can't really find much online about Garant company or their machines so that is why I thought I'd ask here. Hopefully someone can read the spec's and let me know their opinions.
Any response is greatly appreciated.
