Jet 14" lathe OK?

Looking at Tool Crib catalogue and they show a 14 inch mini lathe by Jet on sale for 199.99, says was 349.99. Am I looking at a decent lathe here? 1/2 HP, 6 inch tool rest 500 to 3975 rpm??

Gotta check this out if price is right....

It's a good price for a very nice lathe. They sell them at Woodworkers Warehouse for $329.

Thanks NG. I need the feedback on the lathe before I figure out which bid to bury that 199.99 into........
