I bought the Galaxi at the 2018 Klingspor Extravaganza when it was the show special. I think it's a fantastic lathe. Once you get used to the interface (and it's pretty intuitive), it makes things really easy. 8 configurable favorite speed presets and easy adjustments with the knob (10 rpm increments, or 100+ if you push in while turning the knob).
I was considering the Laguna 18|36 at the time, and I don't have any regrets going with the Galaxi.
1800 seems fair, especially including tools (depending on what the tools are).
Any specific questions about it, feel free to ask.
