Since you have had so many votes for option #1, I will play devil's advocate and lean towards the bandsaw. But it really hinges on just how limited you feel by 1. your current 6" jointer, 2. the lack of a bandsaw, and 3. your budget (i.e. if you go option #1 would you still spring for a bandsaw later, but maybe not a $1,000 one?). Or do you think you'll want to do some serious resawing at some point in which case you might want a larger bandsaw? BUT, if you are leaning towards increasing jointer capacity over bandsaw use, option #1 does really sound like a great deal.
