Ive actually been wanting to comment about this for a few days and add this to my prior post.
While with my particular PM lathe, I haven't been impressed with the quality over other offerings, (even going as far as to looking to order directly in tawain) I looked at QMT/PM as a broker and went with them to ensure parts availability and that my lathe would get to me in one peice.
That alone is worth the price or "service charge" for their products and a quite valid argument for one brand despite other even identical machines.
Ive ran into a couple of issues where a good machine is rendered useless by obsolete parts. Even with an industrial background, and a full machine shop at my leisure not having parts on hand is a huge hassle and making something thay will work gets old.
