YES -- you figure anything similar would be double that or more. I would jump on it for that price. I would also consider upgrading the guides to ceramics. I love my Laguna LT18 and that is less than I paid for mine new back in 2001. All of them are made by ACM, although the Felder has a different column design similar to the Bridgewood (when they were still being sold). This is supposed to add rigidity to the frame. It also has a little over 13 inches of resaw which and a bit bigger throat than my LT18.
I would say go for it.

nice! Sounds like a good deal to me. 21.5" saw, good specs. I'd have bought it if I saw the deal while shopping for band saws during the last 3 years.
Was in SD this weekend, almost found time to hunt up FullerBuilt.com and see some of that mid-century modern stuff in person But SeaWorld won out for the family... I couldn't talk them into a side-trip to Eagle tools on the drive home either. Go figure...

Great deal unless you don't need a lot of resaw height.
I have a Laguna Saw with ceramic guides and I can't for the life of me see the benefit over good quality Carters. I have to assume that the Felder comes equipped with wonderful guides.
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.
