    Even then 220 is a fairly simple upgrade, and a major boon to tools...

    Check if it has a footbrake/switch or motor/electric brake. Important feature for larger BSs. I have a Griz 21" and has been a great machine for not much more than the PM. You will be able to mill large stock --get a good blade--(Lenox Woodmaster CT for me~~$185.00 for 165"s). I imagine the PM is a great machine and that seems like a reasonable price.
