The only concern your choice gives me is that the spindle bore is under the diameter of some heavy barrel contours, so it would be too small to chamber those barrels through the spindle, and the bed is too short to set up to do it with a lathe dog and a steady rest. So, be sure you won't intend to have anything over 1" in the spindle.
