I would definitely look at an al960b if I needed to buy a small lathe that had to be new, they don't have any goofy omission like strange thread pitches missing that I know of and have an acceptably wide carriage.
The one real benefit of newer lathes is having big spindle bores 40Mm is pretty damn good In a home shop machine.
In terms of mills that H and F stock I would really only look at the bridgport clones, bm23a and above.
Otherwise I would wait for a good used machine. In my opinion small imported mills need a lot of work to make them usable.
