This is the model:G0634XP 12" Planer/Jointer with Spiral-Polar Bear Series

The reason for this topic in light of the concurrent one about comparing the Griz to other brands, is the 634XP isn't mentioned specifically nor is anyone seem to be backing the grizzly in the same way the Fine Woodworking review does.
For me cost does matter,unfortunately. Like others I have been on the fence,trying to decide whether to go for the Griz before the end of the year, in case prices rise or continue saving.
I'd like this thread to be focused on the Griz in a positive sense,so I can determine whether the FW review was a fluke or not. So, any 634XP owners happy with their purchase?

Thanks
