Hi Bob

I think you are right, looks like the Gray one is 5 speed and the Black one is VS..

sold by Rockler only,, I would say it's good chance they are out of the old model and if someone orders one they just may get the VS one...

Hard to say

I remember receiving an email from Rockler for the $199 price around that time.

Rockler had both the 6 speed maunual and variable speed lathes in black from Excelsior. I see little difference between them and my Delta. Go for the best priced lathe you can find.
