Yep those are same I sighted also, the only real differences are the suppliers and the price. As wizard stated you can acomplish alot on a lathe, and one thing you will find is sooner or later you will have a project bigger then you can swing or turn. Its hard to buy too much machine, its also hard to move to much machine so take my advice, buy what you can and muster it down those stairs, doing it twice sucks(when you get a bigger machine). I don't know about everyone else but my HF stopped carrying the 7x10 lathe now.
