Which three big lathes?

I own three big lathes, a long bed VL 300 which they no longer make, a VL 175 plus a S75o Stubby with the long bed. All long beds.



All was fine until Jim C, posted a pic of the new short bed VL 240.



Now I don't own a short bed lathe. What should I do? The new vicmarc has a swivel head as well, making my 175 redundant.



Bugger you Jim and Vicmarc.



I can't afford it, never could, but the option is appealing.



I turn mostly platters on the Stubby ,long stuff on the long bed VL300 with two banjos and the rest on the 175.



Now am not about to invest in a VL600, but I would be interested in the pros and cons of the new VL 240. Head spinning. (and I haven't asked the wife yet)
