Mini-mill in my future?

Minor update: I discovered that my lathe does not have a brushless motor despite being advertised as such. I raised the issue with the vendor and demanded compensation.
The potential for a bad review produced a $165 refund bringing my purchase price down to $290.
I'm not sure if having a brushed motor on a lather without a hi/lo gear range will be a factor but I'm happy with the price.
 
What are the ramifications of the brushed vs brushless motor -- no speed control or limited speed control at the motor and you rely on change gears only for speed range?

My lathe does have the variable speed adjustment.

According to my research brushless motors have more low speed torque thus no need for the hi/lo gearbox.

One thing I have read about is that brushless motors require different speed controls which can be prone to issues.
