It seems like a great saw. I ordered one when they first came out. After 10 weeks, I called and they said it would be another 6-8 weeks I cancelled and got a Jet. I have been very happy with the jet.

The people that have ordered and received those saws love them. Apparently the shipping is not a big issue on the saw now. (I ordered mine during the dock strike). The riser blocks have been a source of much dismay. They seem frever back ordered.

My only concern with getting one comes from the fact that a bandsaw is great, a riser block is even better. If you use a bandsaw without a riser block for a while and start to accumulate blades, keep in mind they will be useless with a riser block.

Good luck hope you get a saw you like.
