I am dying thinking this over. From the advice I have gotten, I am going to go the electronic variable speed way. I am going to go with Grizzly as the others are a good $1000 more. I think I am down to these two models:GO766 or GO733. Either one is plenty big enough. People have reported good things about 766 but haven't read as much about 733. Obviously there is a difference in size 22" vs 18". The 733 is a little shorter which could be a plus for a 63 year old man with a bad neck, but I don't know if it is that much of a difference. The 733 is more expensive which is a minus, but why is it more expensive? If it is definitely better, then I would definitely go with it as the price difference isn't that much and shipping is the same.
Also, what accessories do I need right away?
