It's no more accurate than the $88 (on sale) Shars.
The Atlas chuck on eBay mentioned earlier turns out to be a no-name import that fits an Atlas lathe. Misleading title. I talked to the seller, chuck alone is $110 plus shipping.
This is the curse of the noname imports as you can see wide price variance for what is possibly a chuck made in the exact same factory.
This said i've had good experiences with LMS (as well as Shars).
I'll likely either get the 4" Shars (0.003) mentioned above and in my first post, or the $220 5" Shars with better run-out mentioned a few times.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

Ah, the old RTFM reply
Generally when I read something on the Internet I take it as fact. Is that wrong?
I am aware of the "you get what you pay for adage". It's also generally not linear.
I was actively soliciting opinions. I can tell you that not asking the question will result in an answer to your question of zero.
