I must have been a good boy this year because Santa just emailed me the tracking number for my new PM 3520. I am kind of new to turning, I had an old Craftsman lathe that I used to play around with, but nothing serious. I am interested in doing some bowl turning. In addition, I build and sell birdhouses and go through lots of spindles and finials, so I would like to attempt to produce some custom variations. I will need and chuck and have been researching the various models. It sounds like the Oneway Talon and Subernova2 are both good chucks but I am still unsure which one to get. They say the Talon's serrated jaws have excellent holding power, but won't they dig into the wood leaving marks? And how does that effect re-chucking? With the current sales, there is not a huge price difference. Any late breaking thoughts as to which one is the better option?
Thanks

P.S. - I apologize in advance for numerous stupid questions I will probably be asking in the near future.
