I read this thread a lot as I was looking into lathes a month or two ago (considering the Laguna) and ended up getting the Laguna on sale for 10% off during their sale (which is still going on I think). The Jet was 15% off so they were almost exactly the same price. I opted for the Laguna because I love my 14BX. Since I didn't buy the Jet I can't rate it, but I love the Laguna and can't believe how quiet it is. Also there was a question above about service and there were two very minor issues with my bandsaw - one early and one long after the warranty was over and in both cases I was very happy with their service. (The second issue cost me $15 and the first was free and in both cases I talked to helpful real humans who seemed to really care and be patient).
