I bought the Stratos fu230 along with the bed extension and the quick change system from Simon Hope July last year. The service from Simon was excellent and arrived within 7 days direct from Germany.
I am impressed with the quality of the lathe and no problems have been experienced, excellent value for the money.
If you intend to make large diameter platters then the bed extension is essential in the outboard mode, combined with the quick exchanged plates is can be installed in a couple of minutes.
