Walter Jones has just updated his comprehensive matrix of lathe specs, adding two new ones...the JET 1220 and NOVA 1224-44.

Dial in here to have a peek at this very informative side-by-side comparison chart: Lathe Specs
 
I don't know if Walter visits here or not, but the low speed for the Nova 3000 should be 215rpm and the low speed for the Rikon is 430.

Cheers,
Kurt
