Ummm, none! Except, maybe the new price. I got a good deal on the one on
my mill, and was GIVEN the one on my lathe! Being an electrical engineer
helps in setting them up, there are so many options that a person with less
electrical knowledge would be well confused. But, they work wonderfully,
and if you set up the braking resistor, they will brake the spindle every time
you tell it to stop. That can save a lot of time over waiting for the spindle to
slow down by friction only.

I have CNC on the mill, which is a lot better than a DRO. I have a DRO on
my new lathe, but I have not finished rebuilding it yet, so I really haven't
used it much.
