The 9 x 20 is in my opinion a very good lathe. There are millions of them about. The basic design is the same from whichever supplier, however it is important to know some suppliers require a higher standard of finish than others.
Bearing in mind what Ed said about the cross slide design I think it is a good value for money lathe.
There is a simple design mod to increase the rigidity of the cross slide.
This is a very good site about the 9 x 20 lathes http://bedair.org/9x20.html
