Not going to try and outdo Mike on his excellent review of his 1340, but I'll post some pics and impressions once I get it. Will be busy trying to figure out this 3ph/VFD wiring stuff for a bit, so don't ask for 'chips' right away.
EDIT: Does anyone happen to know the shipping weight on this thing?

Yeah, I received an Email from Ray... my check arrived and is in the bank. Awaiting a tracking number.
On the weight... webpage says around 1300# including the stand... the two cabinets come in a separate box. I would guess... the crate with the lathe is around 1200#~, depending on what accessories are in the crate.
You are welcome...
My 935 weighed in close to 1800#~ in a 48x48x72 tall crate... was a mess to get into the basement.
I may take the top off the lathe box outside and remove some of the weight... accessories and extra's from the crate. Will need to get it into the basement through a 36" walk through door, and over an aluminum threshold. Thinking to probably use two furniture carts (the rectangle frames with 4 heavy castors). That way, I can 'walk it' along and over the threshold...
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Can't help much here John, sorry. But I am impressed that you got that thing down a flight of stairs. My hat off to you Sir!
That 1800lbs is one of the main reasons why I didn't get that thing. It's just more thing that I don't want to deal with.
