Back to the subject, I went with an Aloris QCTP. I have a Phase II that was mounted on my old lathe but I never liked the feel. I took it apart several times trying to get it to work smoother but decided to step up when I got the PM 1340GT. I got a great deal on the QCTP with 2 holders for the price of just the tool post thanks to Enco's 25% off sales with free shipping. (miss that)
As to the holders, I have 2 Aloris holders that came with the QCTP which are very nice. The Phase II holders are pretty good and can be used "as is". I have a bunch that I got cheap (about $10 ea) that I had to replace the screws to be functional. Some of them are too "tight" in the dovetail and required some tweaking to be usable. I wouldn't buy them again but would either buy Phase II or Aloris in the future.
