Well, Everyone,
I walked in to Woodcraft today, still not knowing for sure which way I was going to go, but leaning PM.

I just couldn't get that $1100 out of my wallet for the PM, and went with the 1642. If I knew for sure what I would most enjoy turning, I might have gone with the PM, but coming from a mini, I just couldn't pull the trigger on the mustard. Man, what a machine.

Thanks for all the help. I get it in a week or so, and I'll report back.
