Personally, I'd rather have the Mk7, from the '60's.
(If the parts will play nice with my ERs.)
One of my ERs has a variable speed (Skip's)
DC motor conversion.

Is there any real difference?

One was made by Magna Engineering, then Yuba Power Products, then Magna America from the early '50s through the late '60s.
The other was made by Shopsmith, Inc. starting in the early '70s.

I wish they would add the crank and the carriage to headstock lock in the current models. With a chance to upgrade of course
