I found one about 4 years ago and it is the best enlarger I've ever  
used (within its limitations).

1. fast: the auto focus really works and allows me to crank out b/w  
images at a faster pace than ever before concentrating on the content
2. the lens is very very good - probably not up to the very latest,  
but I don't think I could tell really
3. newer b/w tools are still made for it: I have the latest split  
grade head and love the combination

Limitations:
1. my rollei negs have to go elsewhere
2. no tilt (an advantage it that it does not get out of whack but)
