Hi Dennis, just a little update to my questions earlier...

I settled for the SIEG SX2 "Super" or "Plus" all depending on retailer.
Since i have ample access to larger mills, and on top got a nice discount on the machine, i figured it will assist me nicely, with the minor tasks i intend to use it for.

Have a little 7x12 China-lathe here, but somehow forgot how costly it was to equip that when it arrived...just got reminded 

As far as that stupid tiltable column goes, you´re experience matches mine completely...
Mine here was way off as well, and eventhough i swiftly managed to tune it in side to side, the forward/backward tilt will have to be shimmed, to hit that sweet spot.
