Help me out please- buying a comm lathe

hey ,

i need some help choosing a lathe to buy.

my options are as follows:
Hudy Advance lathe
Cobra Pro Comm lathe 2000 (with diamond bit or without)
Trinity tru-lathe
Orion motor lathe

i just need some opinions on each... is hudy REALLY worth the extra money??? i know they are very good lathes but will it make that much of a difference for an extra $100 or so?

the cobra seems the best for money especially with a diamond bit
but what are they like??

also, if anyone knows any online shops that have lathes at good prices please let me know, i was looking in stormerhobbies at these lathes but i dont think they are the cheapest around

thanx for your help
robbie
