Personally, I don't see the point of a power feed on a jointer or saw, operator feel/technique is more important on the jointer (assuming your rough sawn wood is as scrimpily cut as ours is) and on a saw with a riving knife and decent guard you can safely feed as fast as a power feed without the bother of setting it up. A power feed is not something you want to be moving from machine to machine (unless you are a set-up masochist) so unless you have a real need for it I would let it pass... I'd put the money towards a shaper!
Really?

I'm guessing you are a lot younger than I am. I have one on everything.
