Congratulations are definitely in order.
We need more info, whats the swing and bed length? Couldn't find that on a quick search.
You'll love that big spindle bore, mine is 3 inch, that extra 9/16 would be great at times.
I don't think I ever take mine over 1000 rpm, those big chucks take a lot of energy to spin up, probably 3 or 4 seconds for the clutch to catch up at 1000 rpm. My cast 4 jaw is only rated for 700 rpm to begin with.
Hope the apron problem is easier to sort out than the mil was. Im sure we'll get interesting posts either way.
Happy turning.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
