I guess that is the trade off. Either compromise on some features, or compromise a whole lot on budget. I wanted the perfect lathe but got bye on an Emco V10 for 4 years. I didn't want to be without a lathe and made do until My Chipmaster came along. It is much better than the Emco but also cost 4k USD for a 48 year old lathe. Even then it is a compromise between features and availability of parts.
You won't get the perfect lathe but if you can compromise a bit, you will get something that will do nearly everything you want.
