920 Lathe

[Omnimill]

I have a BV20 lathe which has been pretty good except it's a chore setting up change wheels for thread cutting. I've been thinking that if I can find space maybe I should get a 920 lathe with a thread cutting gearbox. Anyone on here got one? I know speed changing is a bit of a pain slipping belts etc but apart from that are there any other issues with them?
