Metal lathe question

Hello all,

I am looking to purchase a metal lathe in the 8"+ x 24"+ range.

In your guys' experience, what are the brands to pursue (or avoid)?

I bought one a few years back from Harbor Freight. About all it's good for is 'rough stuff'.

Shop for a used LeBlond, South Bend, Atlas, or Clausing lathe.
