Went together easy and has much more room for larger handles and a vise. Plus it doubles as an oscillating spindle sander. Think it was around $350 but had free prime shipping with Amazon.
Thanks, but for something that is still a hobby, that's a little more than I'd like to spend. However, I'll keep that in mind in case I ever want to upgrade at some point.

Thanks all for your input, think I'm gonna go with the Wen.
