I have also been thinking about a mini lathe, but for woodworking.
I am also curious to hear what others have to say.
Most of my woodworking tools are Jet brand so that is one I have been considering.
 
I used to have a 7x14, I liked it well enough but sold it when I was unemployed. They're certainly nothing like the machines I learned on at vo-tech school. Usually they need a bit of work out of the box to make them workable. You'll probably want to polish the ways, I think mini-lathe.com has a list of things to check out of the box. I would buy another one.
