Also know someone else who opted to get an HLV though still also has their eye on a 102 as well as the tailstock is a bit heavy to move on the HLV

Hardinge are superb and very versatile but Schaublin are more conservative in design and, for me, less interesting if you wish to make complex components. Also, Schaublin does'nt come cheap, or even competitive.
