Looking at what you get for £700 these days, yes I think it's worth it especially if you are getting chucks etc. as part of the package.
My club has one of these and my only complaint is that the cam lock levers on the tailstock and banjo are too short. They need an extended handle to give more leverage to lock tighter.
