I'm finally getting around to setting up my lathe (sitting in the garage for months) and the PSI Barracuda 2 chuck is now $180+. Given the price increase I'm questioning whether it is still such a good deal. At that price is it still a bargain or would you go with something like the Nova G3?

You might check this out. Pretty good deal on a nice chuck.

Amazon has the Barracuda chuck for $168 with free shipping. Just an FYI...

Not sure if this is legal but here is a link:
