The chuck is the last element in the equation. if you want accuracy you need an excellent quill and no vibration. Lots of speeds or variable speed is high on the list.
A tilting and rotating table is desirable and for me it has to have a rack and crank table height adjustment, but you can add one made from a cheap trailer tongue jack attached to the column. So don't let the lack of that feature stop you from buying a good unit.
