I have found the desire to replace my 12in Delta breadbox planer with at least a 15 inch stationary planer. However I am torn between the two planers:
15" with spiral cutterhead:

or....
20"
http://www.grizzly.com/products/20-Planer/G0454
Both are almost the same price. (More shipping on the 20" however)
I am expanding my shop to be used as a side business for various furniture projects. I loke the 5HP motor and versatility of the 20" but could sacrafice the better cutterhead on the 15". The 20" spiral version is beyond my budget. I own the G0568 8" Jointer and love it (the blade guard is a little shotty however). Impressed with Grizzly, my focus has been looking at their planers. Even with the shipping cost, I am still saving alot rather than buying other brands.
Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks for the help,
Brian
