I have SMEC lathes and a Genmill 4024. Do you have any specific questions? If you are in the socal area you are more then welcomed to drop by my shop and you can see the machines. The quality of both machine brands is fine. I have had the Genmill and smec machines for around 3 years and never had a service call on it. The genmill has some leaking issues with coolant so if I bought it again I would be more vigilante at having the sales company fix leaking issues right away.
