Turncrafter Pro or Jet Mini for Youth

>I posted a couple days ago about a demonstration I'm going to do for a youth empowerment program. The topic of grants for them to buy lathes came up. As a result I'm going to apply for an AAW grant to buy them a couple of lathes. I'm looking at the Jet mini and the Turncrafter Pro from Penn State. The Turncrafter is appealing do to the low cost. Any opinions?

Repair parts?

>I think the ability to get spare parts is even more important if the lathes are going to be used by students. The lathes are very similar, probably came from the same factory, and I have looked at them myself. A few months ago I called Jet to buy a pulley to put on my DC motor. It was shipped right away and I got it a few days later. Just my 2.5 cents.
