Dave has summed up the situation rather well I feel, and in a way I will have a similar situation at a local auction tomorrow. There is a rather nice small unimat lathe in the auction and I rather fell in love with it at the viewing. Do I really need it, will it do anything my current lathe can't, is there a space for it in the workshop? All the answers are in the negative, but none of that will stop me bidding for it. Sometimes the heart should rule the head so I might just get carried away at the auction.
