WTB Aloris QC tool post holder for South Bend 13 x 6 foot

BXA was recommended size for my SB 13”. I mounted a shars read (Chinese) last month. $200 for post and 5 holders. I couldn’t justify the price of aloris or Dorian.
 
I'm also surprised at the recommendation of a BXA for that size lathe.
I have a 13" Clausing Colchester, that came with a BXA, and it seemed always small to me - I finally found a CXA Aloris for it, at a price so cheap I couldn't refuse, and that one is perfect.
The BXA got moved to my 10" Sheldon, and seems perfect for that lathe.
 
That must be a larger lathe. Southbend 10r, heavy 10 smaller bore has the recommended axa. The tool holders the 13 and 10r sit about half way up on the tool post. Still looking for that reasonable priced Hardinge hlv h
