Terry,

You might also check a couple of recent back issues of Fine Woodworking.
They did a mini-review of one of these things. I think it was the Makita?
But check...I'm not in the market and didn't really read the article but
from my skimming I recall their evaluation of the new machine was that it
was a good machine made better.

Regards,

Del
