Micro Mark does offer a different lead screw from the others that offers actual inch measurement instead of the close but not quite metric lead screw with inch dials.
There are numerous small detail differences, motor power, included tooling, cam vs wrench tailstock lock, metal vs plastic hand wheels etc. They all look the same but there are lots of small differences between models and brands.
Assume you refer to the cross-slide and top-slide (compound) screws, and not the carriage 16 tpi leadscrew. Nice feature but I always measure when getting close, and by that I don't mean a few thousandths. 8^)
Small differences in features - on the same bed, headstock, and tailstock castings.
One thing to note on the Grizzly 7x14 - a much more robust tailstock. That tailstock might be seen on a few other Real Bull lathes by other vendors.
