I know what your saying, it is a interesting and creative speed control. I am disappointed, when I broke it down the first time, that the headstock is made of 'white metal' castings. If you look at the website, the thing cost 1350 US to replace, yo sir, that's alot of money.
However, to your point, if you have limited space, and you can make your assembly schedules around your breakdowns it's not bad, and better than nothing. I have extended my machinery to have single solutions for benchtop drillpress, sanding, and tablesaw, to speed things up, so I am a little baised.
