I'm about to order the Grizzly 15" planer. For $1,495 I get the Grizzly spiral cutter (G0453Z); or for $950 I could get the straight knive model (G0453), order the Byrd 15" for $600 and install it myself. I've heard the Byrd design is superior to Grizzly's spiral cutter. Any thoughts on this? Is it worth the extra $55 to have the Byrd?
Thanks-
