Jesse will knock $100 off the price of the 20/20 for me, so now it's only $100 more than the 18/18. Seems like a no-brainer to get the 20/20. Jesse told me the difference between the two is not just 2" more inches of resaw height and 2" more inches of throat, but he said the 20/20 has a much beefier blade tension assembly (twice the size is how he put it), a little bit bigger trunnion (3/8" in size), 75 lbs of extra mass in the body and wheels, plus the 20/20 has two drive belts instead of 1 belt on the 18/18. I doubt I will ever need or use 18" of resaw let alone 20", but for the extra $100 (or even $200 normal price difference), the small difference in price seems worth it to get a beefed up saw.
If you got the 20/20, do you run it off a 30 amp circuit? How do you like the saw? How do you like the new Euro guides? Foot brake work OK?
