Question KMG Grinder Advice Please

I am finally about to purchase my first 2X72. I've been making knives by draw-filing with bastard mill files for long enough. I'd like to stay under $2K for this purchase and definitely want a KMG.
So many options and not sure as to which package I should get. I'm a hobby maker, not professional. I can only run 110V. I am thinking that 3 speed 1.5 hp and 8" contact wheel are sufficient? Is there an advantage to the 10" wheel?
Any advice appreciated!
