My other choices that I am comparing to are OKK, Okuma, Hwacheon. They are all priced close together.
I have an older Mori mill and the thing is a monster it loves to cut i would say the "Its a mori you cant go wrong". Your OKK are good machines but i would not owne a Hwacheon after dealing where weak lathes, but i have never ran one of there mills, i have been looking into the Daewoos, and the Sharps. I have 4 Daewoo lathes and they are great i have just started reaserching the Sharps
