I have no experience with them what so ever. But after a cursory look at reviews posted about the company (BBB, Facebook, Yelp etc.) it doesn't leave me with the warm and fuzzies.

I did the same and agree with your assessment.

I've learned the hard way about buying machine tools from overseas.
Delivery promises -
Once you've bought it, it's yours. Deal with it as best as you can.
Getting warranty/replacement parts sent over on a container ship - forgetaboudit....

I wish I could find a used American version. So far my search has turned up none and I suspect all of them will be Asian in origin. Given that scenario I'd rather have a Taiwanese machine instead of one from mainland China.

You just need to start yourself a YouTube channel Stan.
Here in the last few months all the "big names" in YouTube machining have been 'finding' literally tons of truly industrial domestic machines to stuff into their shops. No idea where they are all coming from all of a sudden.
Then get yourself some sweet sponsors to give you all kinds of stuff. Need a 40HP rotary phase converter to power all your new machines? No problem! We'll hook you up!
There you go. Problem solved.

Guess I can do that in my "spare time".
