Hi Jim,
I've been watching your thread very closely the last couple of days and chose not to post to give other woodworkers a chance to express their opinions. I know you are still in the decision making process so please let me know if I can be of any help. I am not a sales rep however I can assist in the process until you've made up your mind.
We may have some opportunities available for our SMC supporters.
Happy Holidays,
Brandon W.
