The Clarkson looks good - needs about 1000$ worth of accessories to get it going tho. The pantograph - not even 500$.
Says it comes with boxes of grinding wheels and there is a few accessories pictured. Is there a lot more needed for one of these?

it's not a lack of wheels that spoil such deals its the fixtures that are the killer.

I've passed on a hundred "great" deals on cutter grinders because they had no fixtures and come in odd specifications or are totally unavailable.
