I've seen those types of chucks around and they seem to be a really great idea IMO so I can reduce the amount of chuck swapping I do. They have been a bit expensive however.
But I just saw one for a reasonable price of 352 euros of a reputable brand, I think (Zentra):

Compare to a non-adjustable TOS chuck for 246 euros:

What do you guys think, is the adjustability worth the extra 100? I really want a new 3 and 4 jaw chuck, both are plain worn out and I gotta fight my lathe due to them, I think with an adjustable 3-jaw I will rely a lot less on the 4-jaw and I can save up longer for a better 4-jaw later on.
